ABUJA (Reuters) – Nigerian
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the arrest of the former national
security adviser, accusing him of stealing about $2 billion through
phantom arms contracts and hampering the fight against Boko Haram
militants, his office said.
The arrest order is part of a campaign by Buhari, who was
elected in March, to tackle corruption that has enriched an elite but
left most Nigerians in poverty.
Buhari’s office said former security adviser Sambo Dasuki
had “awarded fictitious and phantom contracts” worth around $2 billion
for jets, helicopters and ammunition for the army to fight the jihadist
Boko Haram group which were never delivered.
