Ihejirika dss net arms deal
It appears you're referring to a controversial issue in Nigeria. Here's a brief summary:
In 2013, there were allegations of corruption and mismanagement surrounding the procurement of arms by the Nigerian government, particularly during the tenure of former Defense Minister, Aliyu Gusau, and former Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim.
The allegations centered around the purchase of arms and equipment from the United States, France, and other countries, which were allegedly not delivered or were of poor quality. The scandal was dubbed "Arms Deal" or "Arms Scandal" in the media.
One of the key figures implicated in the scandal was former Defense Minister, Goddoma Ihejirika, who was accused of mismanaging the arms procurement process. The Department of State Services (DSS) launched an investigation into the matter, which led to the arrest and detention of several individuals, including Ihejirika.
The investigation revealed that the arms deal was characterized by corruption, mismanagement, and lack of transparency. The DSS report alleged that Ihejirika and other officials had embezzled billions of naira meant for the procurement of arms and equipment.
The scandal led to widespread outrage and calls for accountability from Nigerians. The government eventually set up a panel to investigate the matter, which led to the recovery of some of the misappropriated funds.
It's worth noting that the allegations and findings of the DSS report have been disputed by some individuals, including Ihejirika, who have denied any wrongdoing. However, the scandal remains a significant issue in Nigerian politics and has contributed to the country's ongoing struggle with corruption and governance challenges.
