Arms Deal Scandal: You Will Be Shocked By The Amount Ex-Airforce Chief Who Was Under House Arrest Returned

One of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) chiefs implicated in the $2.1 billion arms contract scandal and put under house arrest at Niger Barracks, Abuja has returned N66 million of the N90 million, allegedly traced to him, to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

It was gathered that the officer, a Principal Staff Officer at NAF Headquarters, was released from detention and asked to go and source for the balance of the money. A source within the anti-graft agency, however, said this did not mean he is completely exonerated.

It was gathered that the other officers being detained by the NAF High Command, on behalf of the EFCC, were not allowed the privileged because they had refused to cooperate fully with the EFCC interrogation team even though some had returned exotic cars and other valuables.
