The 13-man investigative committee set
up to probe the procurement of hardware and ammunition in the Armed
Forces has started its sitting, albeit in camera, The PUNCH has learnt.
The committee has been meeting in the
office of the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Babagana Monguno
(retd.), a source in the Presidency confided in The PUNCH on Wednesday.
The source said, “I can confirm to you
that the committee members have started meeting. They even started
meeting before their appointments were announced. This is because they
do not need any confirmation or any formal inauguration.
“Available information showed that members are getting the needed assistance and support from interested parties.
“It
is the government’s belief that a lot of ground would be covered by the
committee in its desire to ascertain what went wrong in the past as far
as the procurement of arms is concerned.”
