There are indications that the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission has yet to send any communication to the
military concerning 11 serving officers who are among those being
probed for alleged arms scandal.
The Acting Director of Defence
Information, Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar, who gave this hint in an
interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja, said the Defence
Headquarters had not received any letter on the affected military
mofficers.
The EFCC is investigating the alleged
diversion of $2.1bn meant for the procurement of arms to fight Boko
Haram insurgency by former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd.).
President Muhammadu Buhari had
penultimate Friday ordered the commission to investigate 17 serving and
retired military officers, including the past Chief of Defence Staff,
Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.); a former Chief of Air Staff, Air
Marshal Dikko Umar (retd.) (2010 -2012); and former Chief of Air Staff,
Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (retd.) over arms purchases between 2007 and
2015.
