The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru says his predecessors are in a better position to provide details of arms funds approved by the federal government.
During a meeting with the House of Representatives Adhoc Committee on Arms and Ammunition Purchase, Attahiru was asked to explain the contents of the Executive Summary on contracts executed by the Nigerian Army.
The committee chaired by Hon. Olaide Akinremi is reviewing the purchase, use, and control of arms, ammunition, and related hardware by the military, paramilitary, and other law enforcement agencies.
The COAS told them he could not do so because he did not personally authorize or award any contract.

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives picked him at his private office.
EFCC Head of Media, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the development.
The reason is not known yet, but the Senator reportedly failed to honour invitations by the agency.
Governor Hope Uzodinma had accused Okorocha of misappropriating state funds.
In February, the lawmaker accused Uzodinma of unleashing the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) against him.
Okorocha said the state government had not been able to prove corruption allegations against him and family in court.
“I was never a poor man before I became governor of Imo state. I came here, brought my children to invest, brought everybody to invest”, he had said.
