The Nigerian Army has through its spokesman Colonel Sani Usman dismissed the statement by Save the Nation Movement (STNM) calling for the probe of the current chief of army staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai over the alleged military procurement scam. Recall the group had in a statement asked for the probe of Buratai because he was the Director of Procurement at the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) during the period under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).


According to a statement signed by Col. Usman: “Contrary to their mischief, it should be noted that General Buratai was Director of Procurement at Defence Headquarters from March 2014 to May 2015, not from 2012 to 2015 as they wished to mislead the public. Defence Procurement in Nigeria is decentralized and each Service is responsible for its procurement.The Chief of Army Staff had never been involved in any questionable act throughout his career as military officer including his stay at Defence. As a matter of fact, the Chief of Army Staff has always been a reference point in exemplary conduct, probity and integrity. It is on record that he voluntarily declared his assets both as Commander MNJTF and as Chief of Army Staff."

I agree that he should be probed. No stone should be left unturned. If he is innocent, then he has nothing to be afraid of. Right now, all we have is his word and ofcourse we have learnt in a hard way that words are nothing more than they are-mere words. Thanks to Dasuki and Metuh.
