US$1 billion arms procurement

On a motion by the Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuka Onyema (PDP, Anambra), the House of Representatives began an investigation into the US$1 billion approved by President Muhammadu Buhari for arms and equipment to fight Boko Haram in the North East. The motion followed the killing of soldiers of the 157 Battalion in an attack on Metele, Borno State, on 18 November 2018, and the House asked the Army to release the names of the dead.
