Nigeria's
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the arrest of his predecessor's security
adviser who allegedly stole more than $2bn ($1.31).
Sambo
Dasuki is accused of awarding phantom contacts to buy 12 helicopters, four
fighter jets and ammunition. He strongly denies the allegations.
The
equipment was meant to fight militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Soldiers
have complained that despite the military's huge budget, they were ill equipped
to fight.
A
spokesman for Mr Buhari said the corruption resulted in the needless deaths of
thousands of Nigerians.
