Badeh's predecessors also diverted N558.2m monthly

A former Director of Finance and Accounts at the Nigerian Air Force (NAF), Air Commodore Salisu Abdullahi Yushau yesterday March 24th, revealed that former Chiefs of Air Staff who served before Alex Badeh came into office, were also in the practice of diverting N558.2 million from the monthly salary of the Nigeria Air force.

Yushau said this while testifying before a Federal High Court in Abuja at the continued trial of the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh, who is alleged to have siphoned over N3.9 billion from account of the force in 2013.
“The practice of setting aside the N558.2 million was already there, even before I was appointed as the Director of Finance in 2010,” he told the court.
Yushua stated that the system was in place when he served under former Air Chief Marshal M.D. Umar from October 2010 to October 2012. Umar is presently under investigation. He added that he briefed Badeh about how his predecessors diverted the said amount monthly when he assumed office and he decided to continue the practice.

Yushua who was cross-examined by Badeh’s lawyer, Akin Olujumi, said: “I gave the Chief the complete brief of the financial position of the Nigerian Air Force when he was appointed. From then he took control of the expenditure of the balance of N558.2 million which we monthly deducted from the salary account.”. Badeh's trial continues on April 8th.

  1. Half a billion every month going to one man's pocket? Lawd!!! No wonder these people were getting fat. These guys were balling hard before Buhari. Thank God for Buhari...we wouldn't have known any of this if not for him.

They will be the first to say Nigerians are corrupt but na dem chop pass. Do you remember Bader said the military was poorly funded when indeed they where funded but people like him took the funds

    2. God has His own ways of doing things, Buhari may not be the Savior we're looking for but God might have appointed him to have him expose these attrocitties that we are seeing today

  2. My God! This country will need the combination of harpic, bleach, hypo & even acid to sanitize the entire system.Alotta sharing has happened & this is why this is the right time for Buhari to be president. I'm almost certain that this country would have bled to death had the govt not been changed.Only a stout, stoic & stubborn president with big balls can champion the cleaning process of this country.I want to believe Buhari is that man

  8. The corruption problems here is not from the chiefs but those directors in Airforce who briefed the chiefs on how to embezzle on their ascension of office.

  10. Nigeria lacks nothing - the only problem we have is the so call law makers who are there only for their bellies and families while deceiving Nigerians that there are there for them. Until the members of the house of Assembly, The Judiciary and the Eexcutive will tell themselves the truth. Nothing can change it is all a game! we know it too well- Buhari want to change Nigeria
    but he cannot do it alone.
