LARCENY: The current cost of same Tucano jets Nigeria is planning to buy from United States and just deployed in Afghanistan is approximately $10.5m per Jet today with sane specifications and couplings. Buhari approved $462m instead of $126M for 12 Tucano Jets to be delivered in year 2020, increasing the cost through larceny with Nigeria losing $336m in the whole deal. Guess what people the payment was made without budgetary allocation and without National Assembly approval by the so called "Mr Integrity" and anti corruption leader. Larceny is a statutory crime punishable under the law, I really don't know why the National Assembly is yet to initiate impeachment proceedings against the President for flouting the law. © Political Pundit
