The Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) has arrested the immediate past Chief of Air Staff, Adesola Amosu.
Amosu was arrested Wednesday night at about 9pm and has since been detained by the anti graft agency.
Air Mashal Adesola Amosu is one of the 21 former and serving officers who have been penciled for probe by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Nigeria Air Force personnel being investigated are expected to explain their involvement in a $2 billion and another N29 billion procurement deals that took place between 2014 and 2015.
A top source at the EFCC who spoke to The Guardian stated that Amosu is being detained to give vital information concerning the deals, especially with the contracts awarded, many of which were suspected to have been inflated.
