Babagana Munguno (rtd) has said that the money approved for purchase of weapons under the former service chiefs are unaccounted for

The NSA in the interview with BBC, stated that the failure of the security personnel to get adequate weapons is a setback to the fight against insecurity.

Monguno said; 

“I am sure the President will investigate this. As I am talking to you now, even the Nigerian Governors’ Forum has started questioning where the money is. So I assure you that the President is not playing with anything that has to do with the people.

“I can’t say the money was stolen but we didn’t see anything and even the new Service Chiefs said they didn’t see the weapons. It is possible the weapons are on their way coming. Maybe from America, England and other places but as at now, I didn’t see anything and the Service Chiefs too didn’t see any weapons too.”

He also disclosed that President Buhari directed the new Service Chiefs to end insurgency within a short period of time, adding that the Nigerian leader is committed to ending insecurity.
