EXCLUSIVE: Anti-graft Agency, ICPC Uncovers Billions In Cash Meant For Arms, Ammunition To Fight Boko Haram In Abuja Home Of Ex-Chief Of Army Staff, Buratai - Sahara Reporters

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORK JUN 23, 2022


The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has recovered N1.85 billion from a house and office said to belong to former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai in Abuja, multiple sources told SaharaReporters.

Sources said ICPC officials stormed the house in the Wuse area, beside the National Open University of Nigeria Campus in Abuja last week after it received a tip-off from a whistleblower.

SaharaReporters gathered that the huge cash was part of the billions of naira earmarked for the purchase of arms and ammunition by the Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

“Last week Thursday, ICPC officials stormed a house in Wuse area of Abuja, beside National Open University and arrested a man, Kabiru Salisu after they saw N850 million cash in the house,” a source told SaharaReporters.
“He claimed the money belonged to Tukur Buratai who was in Cotonou at that time.
“Officials of the ICPC took him to an office where another N1billion in cash was also discovered. Also, bulletproof cars, BMW, G-Wagon worth N450m were recovered."
“Serious pressure is being mounted to claim money found was only N30m,” another source said.



In March 2021, Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno revealed that funds running into billions of naira meant for the procurement of arms and ammunition under the past service chiefs were unaccounted for. His revelation came a few months after President Buhari replaced Buratai and other service chiefs. Others were former Chief of Defence Staff, Gabriel Olonishakin; Chief of Air Staff, Abubakar Sadique and Chief of Naval Staff, Ibok Ibas.

According to Monguno, neither the money nor the arms were on the ground upon the resumption of the new service chiefs. “Now that he (President Buhari) has brought new people (service chiefs), hopefully, they will devise some ways… I’m not saying the former service chiefs diverted the money, but the money is missing. We don’t know how, and nobody knows for now,” he had said. “The President will surely probe this matter. As we speak, the Nigerian Governors’ Forum too is also wondering where all the money went. I can assure you the President takes issues of this nature seriously. “The fact is that preliminary investigation showed the funds are missing and the equipment is nowhere to be found. “When the new service chiefs assumed office, they also said they did see anything on the ground.”

History Of Graft

Sahara Reporters had in a series of publications in 2016 exposed how Buratai procured expensive assets in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, between 2013 and 2015, from proceeds of crime. He and his two wives in 2013 paid the sum of 1,498,534.00 AED (N120 million/$419,000) for the first property, Project TFG Marina Hotel Unit 2711. Sale documents indicated that the first property was handed over to the Buratais on January 13, 2013.

Eleven days after he was appointed by President Buhari, the retired Army General made arrangements for the purchase of a second property from the same company in Dubai. Between July 24 and August 17, 2015, he paid a total sum of N42.2 million into TFG Sigma 111’s account in Nigeria (Skye Bank 1770380452). Evidence exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters revealed that Buratai made N10 million payments on July 24 and August 7 respectively.

Three days later, another N10 million was paid into the real estate firm’s account. The phone number on the Skye Bank teller is 08033349740. Saharareporters investigations showed that it belonged to a Nigerian Army Major, Emmanuel G. Adegbola of the Nigerian Army Finance Corps (N/10808). On August 17, 2015, the Chief of Army Staff paid the sum of N3,270,000 into the account.

Buratai, who owned up to purchasing the two properties in Dubai, however, claimed that he amassed his wealth through “personal savings” and not ill-gotten gains. He added he made a lot of money from his snake farm along Keffi-Abuja Highway in Nasarawa, just 50 kilometres from the nation’s capital.

It has become evident that the core objective of holding public office in this country is to steal more than you need and funny enough it has become a competition where one has to steal more than his/her predecessor. They borrow to steal, indebting future generations and enriching themselves.

Makes me wonder where Nigeria will eventually be in the next 20 years. It leaves no room for optimism.

When the time comes to pay the piper, no airhead should claim Biafra has a stake in whatever useless debt or consequence of the evil seeds Nigeria is sowing today.

By that time na hydrogen bomb go settle the matter. Can't wait.

Buhari's aware Burutai and crops of others are stealing big time,kept smiling over it,why was he reluctant in sacki g him despite repeated pressures?

We are praying,more revelations to come out,more disgrace to all those milking Nigeria dry.We have posted it here on how money is taking from Niger Delta oil to fight artificially created war,aim at transfer wealth to northerns.

Part of the proceeds is for next year's Election,others for buying judgement,others for enjoyments.

Father Lord more exposure,more disgrace,more trouble for all public office holders in the executive,in the judiciary and legislatures in Jesus name amen!!
Prayers!!!

The President of Muslim Nigeria Buhari has not gotten him fired or arrested for such a crime. How do you go to a mosque to pray to know you have protected a big thief? When they say Buhari has integrity you ask yourself what the word integrity means, and he is not anywhere close to that word.

They are using Islam to cover corruption basically.

The General himself, can you imagine, who on earth makes billions of naira by just personal savings, no investment, are you a footballer!!

After Buhari's regime, we will know how massively the country was looted, more reason they are very scared of a reputable candidate...
