Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, former Defence Minister, Mansur Dan Ali, and top Defence Ministry officials are enmeshed in a multi-million Dollars arms purchase deal for the Nigerian military, Pointblanknews.com can reveal.


Kyari, described as “The Red Cap”, and some middlemen ostensibly with links to the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, have completely hijacked arms procurement to fight insurgency in the North east and crime in the Niger delta.



An example is a contract awarded to a Dutch firm Damen Shipyard Goriche for the purchase of two fast patrol boats for the Nigerian Navy at a little above $23 million. Both boats aren’t fitted with guns.

Curiously, when papers for the purchase reached Kyari’s, table, the Chief of Staff jerked the, figure to $60 million. The hijack of the procurement process of arms by the Chief of Staff has reportedly unsettled officials of the Ministry of Defence who feel that it falls within the or scheduled of duty.



Pointblanknews.com checks revealed that even at $10 million per unit, the Navy boats were still overpriced, as the market price for the same model indicated that each should not have cost more than $8 million.



In another contract, the Nigerian government mandated Serbia-based Jugo Import SDPR JP, to supply two sizes of ammunition: 5000 122mm HE (Howitzer) for $3,259.950.00, and another 5000 units of 105mm caliber ammunition for $3, 734.950. Both supplies totaled $6.994.990.



In yet another contract Paramount Nautic Africa was asked to procure 15 units of 9.5 Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBS) at $3,870.000, and Messrs. Leonardo Helicopters was contracted to supply AW 139 Helicopter for Nigerian Navy at $22 million.



On its,part, Excalibur, a Czech company bagged a contract of $99,538,457 for the supply of 81mm mortar bombs, Mine Resistant vehicles (MRAP), RPG740mm among others.



All the contracts papers were all signed on September 17, 2018.



A source familiar with the transaction told Pointblanknews.com that “Kyari and former NSA Dasuki’s men still run our arms and ammunitions business.



One of such fronts is Mustapha Yakubu,owner of Dasuki Adun Nig Ltd & Sawki Nig Ltd. He also fronts Excalibur). They are the promoters of almost all the companies with a former minister.



A certain front simply known by his first name Ahmed represents Norinco, Dmmi Strategies Uk & Damen.



Offered an official, “Norinco is a Chinese company promoted by Kyari and Defence ministry officials”.



It was also gathered that the price of Leonardo Helicopters were jerked up go accommodate several interests in the Presidency.



“Excalibur is a private Czech company. They don’t do government to government contracts. They quoted T90 tanks which they don’t have. But they now want to supply T72 tanks at the T90 prices with very huge difference in price. They are paying dollars to Kyari and ministry stakeholders, they are supplying their items from Ukraine, Russia and South Africa”, the source said.



On Kintex, a Bulgarian concern, the source said “they are being fronted by two Israelis- Aron & Yallon. They have over-loaded their invoice too. Damen quoted $22m for two boats without arms not more than $13-15million.”



“Mark Gaetje {Deman Shipyard} represented by DMMI Strategies, UK, Paramount Nautic Africa is a South Africa concern whose prices are bloated. Jugo Import International is a Serbian arms company with price equally rigged with over 85% for Nigerian stakeholders” the source added.



By Pointblanknews.com calculations, President Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and his syndicate in the Ministry of Defence and fronts who acted as representatives of the companied made over $60 million from single tranche of Defence contract.

They are pighting kwarrapsion. This four years must finish na no matter how long e take.

Just look at the companies and countries these idiots are sourcing arms and ammunition from, just to tell you how much of a joke their purported war is.

Someone from within who hasn't been carried along is squealing as hell.

Oh boy, see curry?

While I made over 1.2million dollars alone from the defence transaction.

If you don't have a registered company that does shipping, general trading and defence equipments, then you are not a Nigerian yet.. Also, if you dont have links to director of procurements in this ministries, agencies and parastatals, then prepare to remain poor in naija

Buhari is really fighting corruption.

I guess EFCC is blind to cases like these.

If it isn't members of the opposition party of teenage internet fraudsters, EFCC becomes blind in both eyes.

All those who are fraudulently making money out of the pains of the people of Northeast Nigeria and Nigeria as a whole, may your life be cut short this year.

Abba Kyari. Your judgement day is coming.

Efcc, ICPC, PACAC and Mr intergrity would all look the other way.

But if it was the opposition, then you will know that Efcc is alive.

I like the way the TI Nigerian Rep shredded Garba shehu yesterday morning on National TV as they contested the recent TIs rating.

Where's Serap? Presently they are the only people talking but they alone cannot do the job. Others should also speak up.

How can you convince me Mr Intergrity is not aware of all these?

As a General, a war veteran, you want to tell me he doesn't know how these things were mindlessly inflated?

His interest, his wife's interest, Yusufs interest, Mamman dauras interest, femi Adeshina, Garba shehu, osunbande, Lawan rubber stamp and his goons interest, ALL TAKEN CARE OF!


Where are APC resident zombies?

Stealing is now corruption so com3 and defend your slave masters.

And they thought they could hide from the prying eyes of TI?

Lalasticlala Mynd44, go collect your cut from Abba kyari before it's too late.
