The presidential panel set up on arms procurement between 2007 and 2014 has forwarded a fresh report to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, The PUNCH gathered.

It was reliably gathered on Tuesday that the latest report contained a list of officers of the Nigerian Army who would be investigated by the anti-graft agency over the ongoing arms purchase probe.

The panel had, in November last year, submitted its first report to President Muhammadu Buhari, who on receiving it ordered the arrest of Dasuki.     

It was gathered that top on the list in the latest report, forwarded to the anti-graft commission, were three former service chiefs.

A source in the commission said, “The commission now has the list of those Army officers involved in the arms deals.

“The commission is still treating it as a secret for now. The list is long, we learnt that there are three former service chiefs there but nobody can give you those names there.”
