Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau
Revelation from a panel investigating theft of military funds indicts President Muhammadu Buhari's Minister of the Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau of grand theft while in office.
This information was released via the Twitter page of controversial online news platform, Sahara Reporters.
According to the reports, Dambazau was taking a gargantuan sum of N1 billion monthly from salaries of the Nigerian Army.
Dambazau is yet to react to the weighty claims by the online news paper that has been leading the front in the exposure of excesses of corrupt public office holders. This revelation, if true, will come as a huge blow to Buhari's anti-corruption war which has gained international attention.
