EFCC releases wife of Ex-Airforce Chief as N66 million is being returned

Former Nigerian  Air Force chief who was put under house arrest at Niger Barracks has returned N66 million out of N90 million to the Economic and  Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) he was alleged to have taken out of the $2.1 billion arms deal.

However, a source from the EFCC told our correspondent that another Air Commodore who also benefitted from the arms deal has since been arrested and is being detained alongside others who did not cooperate with the EFCC interrogation team.

There has since been a tidal change at the NAF  High Command, which saw the removal of some Air Officers Commanding and Principal Staff officers alleged to have been involved in the arms deal with  new Air Officers Commanding appointed.

It was also gathered that the wife of a former Chief of the Air Staff, Mrs. Lara Amosu, has since been set free by the EFCC after been detained overnight.
