Following the ongoing probe into the $2.1arms deal scandal, the leadership of the Nigerian Airforce, NAF, on Thursday fired some Air Officers Commanding, AOCs, allegedly involved in the scandal and appointed new officers to replace them.
NAF leadership in line with the current anti-graft fight has also placed about four senior officers, including, Air Vice Marshals, AVMs, and Commodores, under house arrest at Niger Barracks, Abuja, awaiting completion of interrogation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before they would know their fate, Vanguard reports.
The report stated that in accordance with a court order, a former service chief, who was allowed to go home the first time he was invited, had been re-arrested and detained since Wednesday and may remain in detention for about two more weeks.
This development is coming after the sack of the Director of Military Intelligence, Brig-General Mohammed Sa’ad, over his alleged involvement in the $2.1bn arms scandal.
