The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has disclosed that it has seized the $1million cash that its operatives found in the bedroom of retired Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh.
The money is believed to be part of the $2.1b arms procurement fund.
According to an EFCC source, Badeh was discovered to have been diverting arms procurement fund through Bureau de Change operators.
“When we searched his mansion at 6, Ogun River Street in Maitama District in Abuja, $1million raw cash was found in one of the rooms.
“Our operatives made sure that the search of the house was conducted in the presence of Badeh’s neighbours who can attest to the discovery. We ensured that these neighbours witnessed our operation.”
Meanwhile, Badeh's trial on 10 charges bordering on fraudulent diversion of N3.97 billion belonging to the Nigerian Air Force, NAF begins today in Abuja.

The late Barrister Ocholi was sworn in as Minister of State for Labour and Employment on November 11, 2015.
President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that Nigeria has joined the Saudi Arabia led Islamic Coalition Against Terrorism.
Justifying Nigeria's membership of the coalition on Aljazeera at the weekend, Buhari said that it had to be done because Nigeria has terrorists to deal with.
“We are part of it because we’ve got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows which claim that they are Islamic.
“So, if there’s an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it because we are casualties of Islamic terrorism.”
Buhari confirmed that Nigeria joined the Islamic Coalition during his recent visit to King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
He argued that since Boko Haram which claims to be Islamic has joined ISIS, Nigeria should not shy away from joining any Islamic organization fighting terrorism.
“ISIS is basically based in Islamic countries. Now, if there’s a coalition to fight Islamic terrorism, why can’t Nigeria be part of it, while those that are fighting in Nigeria as Boko Haram claim to be Muslims?" he asked.
Buhari dismissed the suggestion that he was giving Nigeria an Islamic identify by joining the coalition, given that almost half of the population is Christian.
“Why can’t those Christians that complained go and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the militancy in the South. It’s Nigeria that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots,” he said.
