Nigeria's Former Chief Of Air Staff Amosu Detained By EFCC Over Arms Procurement Fraud
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK JAN 28, 2016

Nigeria's former Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Adesola Amosu, has been arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of massive fraud that characterized arms procurement during his tenure.

An EFCC source told SaharaReporters that the retired air marshal is being investigated amongst other acts for reportedly authorizing the purchase of two helicopters without functional rotors. He added that the former top military officer later compelled two air force officers to fly in one of the helicopters after the craft was equipped with a rotor that was taken from an unserviceable Russian-made helicopter gunship. The air force officers died in a crash near Yola, the capital of Adamawa State, because the rotors fitted on their chopper was too heavy.

The source claimed that EFCC investigators had so far traced nine luxury homes to Mr. Amosu. The retired officer’s suspected homes include an imposing property in the Government Reservation Area (GRA) of Ikeja in Lagos State. Our source stated that the Ikeja property is estimated at more than N350 million.

President Muhammadu Buhari recently asked the EFCC to launch a broad investigation of serving and retired military officers suspected of looting funds budgeted for the procurement of weapons and other tools for the Nigerian military to support the war against Islamist insurgents in the country’s northeast.

One EFCC source revealed that agents of the anti-corruption agency were working diligently on numerous investigations involving other top officers who may have milked the defense budget.

Send the yam eater to jail straight. Awon Oloshi eleribobobo

Hmmmmm......the Goats and the Yams

This is a welcome development... Arrest all yam eaters

Great, where is lalasticlala sef

Good development. He must vomit all the yams he ate and afterwards, EFCC should compel him to fly home alone in the second faulty helicopter that has no functional rotor. He should be forced to experience what he dished out to the late officers.

If this is true, then this man should not only be tried for corruption, but also for high treason. If found guilty on the treason charged he should be executed by firing squad.

Why are they being arraigned for fraud only.Why not also for felony or manslaughter?
Men like amosun are murderers!

English professor here u come again with another monika, I dey laugh, U know I never went to school.

This men are really evil. ... And any one who defend them is purely foolish

This is good. We must curb curruption in Nigeria despite who is involved. This will serve as a deterrent to some High Networth Individuals who loot with the believe that they are untouchable. I think Buhari is fighting many people at the same time especially top serving and retired millitary generals and they may not find it funny with him. He should take them one by each and be tactful and careful the way he goes about it. I pray what happened on 27th August 1985 will not happen again. An old adage says "History has a way of repeating itself"

IPOB miscreants and e-thugs, oya over to you, start defending the rule of law.
Lovers of corrupt people.

Your day isn't complete without shouting the mods name and posting pictures of your pet chimpanzees.

Are these part of the arms Oga Jona is bragging about?

If these charges against Mr Amosun are true, he should be thrown from the top of Zuma rock with a rotor strapped to his back.

This man is simply a murderer and must be tried for murder too.

La protection la seeker....

Hmm... Wickedness of the highest order. No retreat, no surrender. God bless genuine Nigerians praying for this country and her president.

When is Burutai, the very man in charge of arms procurement going to be probed?
