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.

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
