The Fraud Called Defence Budget By Muhammad Sageer

Over the years the federal government has wasted trillions of naira in the pretext of fighting insurgency in the north east. In spite of the huge amount of money budgeted for security, the insurgency took a worsening toll in terms of casualty this year. The trillions of naira allegedly spent on fighting insurgency do not reflect on our military that are directly involved on the war against the domestic terrorists called Boko Haram. Our military remain poorly equipped. It took the intervention of Chad republic to help save the North-Eastern states that are gradually sliding towards the apocalypse. For all this years, I have been naive and wondering what went wrong with our military that use to be the pride of Africa. Few days ago,I received an alarming message from a very respectable Nigerian in the security. The message reads like to this:

“The GEJ led government is facing serious embarrassment within the international community because of the Defense contract scandal perpetuated by the National Security Adviser; Col. Dasuki Sambo. There is a massive billion dollars corruption on defense contracts perpetuated by Col. Sambo Dasuki under the guise of purchasing military equipment for the armed forces.

1. He purchased a refurbished MI Helicopters as new for the Nigerian Airforce from Belarus at the cost of $84 million per one which the market value is $15 million two have already crashed and killed the pilots.

2.  He purchased a substandard UAV (Drones) from China at an exhorbitant price of  $260 million as against a brand new UAV which was offered to Nigeria by Elbit Systems of Israel who are the pioneers and leading UAV Manufacturers in the world at a lower cost of $16.5 million per one and the Chinese UAV crashed on its maiden flight at Mafa village in Borno State.

3.  He purchased and install a Command and Control Centre in his office from an Israeli company called NICE at an exhorbitant price of $80 million which the market value is put at $15 million. His office is not an Operational Agency by law as it serves only as an advisory role to the Presidency on security and intelligence matters so he doesn’t need a Command and Control Centre and since its installation it has never worked.

4. He has done a deal with the Chadian and Nigerian Governments to pay them cash to fight the Boko Haram on behalf of Nigeria which he collected huge amount of money and pay them peanuts.

5. The NSA is also involved in the South African money for arms scandal”
By now i know why the Boko haram insurgency lasted for years without our military being able to stop the domestic terrorists called Boko haram. The office or the NSA is just a mere department under the presidency. The office of the NSA is just surrogate of the presidency. This is why Col. Dasuki sambo is playing the psychopantic role he is playing right now. May God save Nigeria from her exploiters and oppressors.
