Money meant for arms missing under ex-service chiefs – NSA

Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that some funds meant for the purchase of arms to strengthen the country’s anti-terror war went missing under the leadership of the immediate past service chiefs.

The NSA made this known in an interview with BBC Hausa on Friday.

He said, “No one knows what happened to the money but by God’s grace, the president will investigate to find out whether the money was spent and where the arms went.”

The ex-service chiefs are Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin (retd.); Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.); Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas (retd.); and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

Monguno had earlier said that President Buhari released a lot of funds for the military to purchase arms to fight insurgency in the country.

Speaking on Friday, he stated that the new service chiefs have not seen any of the arms that the funds were supposed to be used to purchase.
