Recall that the National Security Adviser Mohammed Babagana Monguno has recently alleged that the immediate past Army leadership could not give account of the Billions of Dollars collected by it for arms purchases, a position he later shifted and claimed to have been quoted out of context.

Nigerians decried the recent non-career appointment of the immediate past Service Chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari, insisting that the appointment was hastily done by President Buhari to give the Service Chiefs a shield from prosecution over many allegations bordering on criminal diversion of funds and corruption enrichment of selves by the service chiefs at the detriment of Nigerians who are daily killed, maimed and raped by terrorists, bandits and other criminals.
