Former Chief Of Staff Detained By EFCC

I was just talking about indicting Chief of staff yesterday, I guess after Amosun, Badeh would be next.

On 27^th of January 2016 former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Adesola Amosu invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, interrogated on his role and detained because all issues pertaining to alleged N29billion indictment were not concluded.

Air Marshal Amosu arrive EFCC premises in the evening of Wednesday, but was later joined by some other officers of the ranks of Air Vice-Marshals, some of who served under him as Principal Staff Officers or Directors at the Headquarters of the Nigerian Air Force.

Asked if the former Air Chief will be granted administrative bail since he honoured his invitation, a source said that depended on the level of the interrogation.

President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the probe of arms procurement and the panel indicted top military and political actors who are being tried in court.

NAF under Amosun, was alleged to have admitted receiving non-existent ammunition and aircraft, a development which a presidential panel frowned at.

Many other top military officers named in the arms scam have had their property sealed as a first step towards confiscating them.

This came as former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, said President Muhammadu Buhari’s government was prosecuting the war against the Boko Haram insurgency with arms his administration procured.

Operatives of the EFCC were said to have continued the interrogation of the former Air Chief, yesterday, at EFCC headquarters and at press time, Amosu was still with the anti-graft agency.
