corruption and money laundering. Money laundering is usually found mostly in the federal government parastaters. A
fight against money laundering have always been a lost battle but the EFCC is doing their best to bring it to minimum
if not the resolve it. Money laundering is an act of taking money that is not duely assigned to you. The money might be for the purpose of
budget. There was a memo as at novernber 20, 2014 submitted by the Chief of Air Staff, A.N. Amosu, revealed that
Mr. Eze had on November 4, 2014 submitted a proposal to the office of the National Security Adviser proposing to
supply the upgraded helicopters to the NAF. The tone of Mr. Eze’s letter, obtained by us, indicated that he was deeply
involved in sourcing and supplying hardware to the Nigerian military as it is embroiled in a fight against Boko Haram
militants. For instance, on August18, 2014 alone, the sum of N26.68m in eight transactions; N178.54m in 43
