A former Director of Finance and Accounts at the Nigerian Air Force(NAF), Air Commodore Salisu Abdullahi Yushau (retd) has testified before a Federal High Court in Abuja, that all former Air Chief Marshals diverted N558.2 million monthly from funds meant for the payment of salaries of NAF officials.

Yushau made this known at the continued trial of the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, who allegedly siphoned over N3.9 billion from account of the force in 2013.

Yushau, who started his Evidence-In-Chief on March 16, told the court that, “The practice of setting aside the N558.2 million was already there, even before I was appointed as the Director of Finance in 2010.I gave the Chief the complete brief of the financial position of the Nigerian Air Force when he was appointed. From then he took control of the expenditure of the balance of N558.2 million which we monthly deducted from the salary account.”

Yushau further said the system was effected when he served under former Air Chief Marshal M.D. Umar from October 2010 to October 2012. Umar is equally under the investigative radar of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).

They all sabotaged my HERO efforts to make this country great. Now its d time for u to dance naked!

Its not strange. It has been an abominable culture of diverting workers salary in all ( I mean ALL ) parastatals and para- militaries in Nigeria. No wonder almost all civil and public servants that retired at director levels refuse to leave public or political offices, jumping from one political party to the other. Some would fight their way to get traditional titles or become traditional rulers.

These people finished our money. I don't even know is that english is correct. But, that is the best way I can express it.

Say no to corruption.

This is a very good revelation. That means the Air Force short paid it men in order to make the Air Force Chief smile to the bank monthly . Make them follow check the Army and Navy too. It could be worst there.

bros it is everywhere. In d Universities and Teaching Hospitals d VCs and CMDs are doing d samething.

Hheeii. We don die!!!

Institutionalized stealing.

Such a shame! All military chiefs under whichever formation ie Army, Navy or Airforce are complicit in things like this. They are like a very opaque club open to d anointed few who make it to General, Air Chiefs and whatever else they are called.

Every one of them from their active military days till now where some have ruled and still rule as democratic Presidents, they are all involved in this evil. Probably still benefit under the radar.

how then can corruption end in Nigeria, tis impossible. just imagine, ALL ex chief diverted such an amount monthly, haba. is there any clean public officer here in Nigeria?

Maybe GOD continue to punish those greedy in the past like Awolowo, azikwe, tafawa, hammadu Bello, may they not know peace in their Graves

The truth about the whole matter is they will still be discharged and acquitted of their crimes at the end of the day.Pmb really need to develop some balls by facing and dealing This thieves squarely or else it will all amounts to nothing.
