The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), at the weekend, continued its clampdown on people who could give information on the vexed $2.1 billion arms deal probe, with the arrest of a former Director of Military Intelligence (DMI), Major General Wiwa, younger brother to the late Ken Saro Wiwa.
This is coming at a time when Citizens’ Initiative for Security Awareness (CISA), warned the media to desist from using sensational stories on military officers.
Sources revealed that General Wiwa, the Deputy Commandant at the Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Oshodi has been transferred to Abuja, where he’s being detained.
Daily Sun gathered that the detained soldier served in the office of the National Security Adviser when late General Patrick Azazi occupied the office. He remained in office during Col. Sambo Dasuki’s tenure from where he was appointed Director of Military Intelligence when Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika became the Chief of Army staff, a position he retained under the tenure of General Kenneth Minimah.
Sources at the EFCC revealed that the general was picked up for questioning over the involvement of the former Chief of Army Staff in arms purchase scandal. (Daily Sun)
