It seems the issue of the frozen weapon deal has taken a
different twist as reports indicate that Nigeria may retaliate the decision of
the South African Government to seize the sum of $9.3 million, and $5.7
million, allegedly meant for the purchase of arms
A top official in the office of Nigeria’s National Security
Adviser told Agence France-Presse that Nigeria
had an agreement to buy $5.7 million worth of military hardware in a deal
brokered by a South African firm.
The official, who on condition of anonymity, said Pretoria
had frozen cash that had been wired to the South African firm’s account.
