On Thursday, President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the probe of 54 individuals, as recommended by the committee on the audit of procurement of arms.

Those listed for investigation include 18 serving and retired military personnel, 12 serving and retired public officials and 24 chief executive officers of companies.

The committee, led by John Ode, disclosed that the total amount spent for procurement and operations within the period were N185,843,052,564.30 and $685,349,692.49.
