Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa has disclosed that prison warders help Boko Haram members move money around.<\/p>\n

Musa said the prison warders also help Boko Haram members carry out some of their criminal activities.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this during the sectoral debate with Service Chiefs organized by the House of Representatives in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Musa said during debriefing, some Boko Haram members in the North-East, confessed to how from the prisons they could plan operations and pass funds to the field through the help of some prison warders.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThey passed funds across and we asked how. They told us they use some of the warders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not saying all of them are bad, but they use some of the warders\u2019 accounts to transfer money and the deal is anybody whose account it is transferred, shared it 50-50. Those are the challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Army Chief also lamented that the high dollar rate had hampered the purchase of relevant equipment needed to fight insecurity.<\/p>\n

According to Musa, all the items procured are bought with foreign currency.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe don\u2019t produce what we need in Nigeria and if you do not produce what you need, that means you are at the beck and call of the people that produce these items.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, during the last regime, about $1 billion was set aside for defence procurement. Out of that amount, over $600 million was for the procurement of aircraft. So, the whole money had gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many times when people see that funds are being released to the armed forces, they think it is so much but by the time you convert them to dollars you do not get much.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne precision missile for our drone costs $5,000. So imagine how many we would be able to use and how many we can procure. So, those are the challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
