That Contrary to the facts presented by the Applicant in his application, it is important to state that the Defendant in its current fight against corruption, financial crimes, misappropriation and terrorism to meet its regional and international expectations, discovered that the sum of $2,100,000,000 Billion dollars allocated to the office of the Applicant for the purchase of arms, ammunition and welfare of the armed forces of the Defendant was dishonorably misappropriated and shared amongst the well-wishers of the Applicant while in his position as the National Security Adviser in the immediate past Administration of the Defendant in this suit. . That instead of buying arms for the Federal Republic of Nigeria so that she can fulfil the above mentioned obligation, the Applicant decided to share the entire money among his friends and political associates. . The decision by the Defendant to investigate the Applicant was triggered by the apparent lack of success on the part of the Nigerian Army in combating the Boko Haram group, the increase in territorial gain by the armed group in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad Republic, Niger and the threat to the entire West Africa and the world at large. 17
