Two hours after the meeting with the President, the service chiefs as well as the Inspector General of Police met at the Senior Officers’ Mess in Abuja. “This money prom Mr. Fresident must be shared equally walahi,” General Abdalla stated.
All the others nodded their agreement except the Minister of Defence. “You know my ministry is directly in charge of buying weapons, don’t you?” he asked.
“Don’t worry about that Emeka,” the Chief of the Air Staff—Air Vice Marshall Musiliu Ige, said.
”We can buy arms personally for our boys. Can’t we officers?”
The others all nodded their consent.
At the end, each of the officers got five billion naira lodged in his private account. Each of the men proceeded to call up his girlfriend as soon as the lodgment was effected in their individual private account. The Chief of Army Staff called up two at once. They needed to really unwind, they reasoned.
