President Muhammadu Buhari says those in charge of fighting Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria shared the $2.1bn that the Federal government earmarked for fighting terrorism in Nigeria.
He said in an interview with CNN that the fund was for buying military hardware and software.
Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Prof Chidi Odinkalu posted part of the interview on his Twitter page.
The revelation is coming amid ambassadorial appointment for all Nigeria’s ex-service chiefs, who the President lauded for having performed well.
It is therefore not clear who the President was referring to as those in charge of fighting terrorism in Nigeria who decided to share the money voted for the war. He also did not say anything about what was done to the people that stole the money in the interview.
