. That
the
facts
and
circumstances
as
stated by
the
Applicant
before
this
Honourable Court are misleading and do not in any way reflect the truth of the
facts leading to the commencement of this suit.
. The Defendant is a Federation observing and enforcing the rule of law in
accordance
with
its
Constitution,
the
Treaty
establishing
the
Economic
Community of West African States, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’
Rights
etc.
and
makes
all possible
efforts
in observing
its regional
and
international obligations.
. 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.
