Several senior officers of the Nigerian army have been relieved of their duties for their alleged involvement in numerous dodgy arms deals. The decision was made public by Colonel Sani Usman, spokesman for the Nigerian army.

Cameroon Intelligence Report learned that many more are already under investigation by the National Commission for the fight against corruption. However, the identities of the officers have so far not been revealed. Our source in Abuja also indicated that the number of army generals involved in the scandal was still being kept like a nuclear secret.

President Muhammadu Buhari, in power since May 2015, has made it a priority to fight corruption in the fantastically corrupt West African nation.
