The ongoing trial of Maj. Gen. U.M Mohammed by court-martial in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, for fraud and money laundering has opened a fresh can of worms as the senior military officer narrated how a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.) allowed the sale of houses by the Nigerian Army Properties Limited (NAPL) to politicians and Very Important Personalities (VIPs) at a ridiculous 75 per cent discount.

The statement reads, “The Army Headquarters has noted yet another ill-conceived report on a sub-judice and ongoing Court Martial process of Major General UM Mohammed, the erstwhile Group Managing Director (GMD) Nigerian Army Properties Limited (NAPL), who was indicted by a military police investigation and recommended for trial."
The Nigerian Army has prevented journalists from covering the trial of Maj. Gen. U. M. Mohammed by court-martial over allegations bordering on fraud and stealing despite claiming that it was an open trial. Mohammed is a former ally of the former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.). On Friday, SaharaReporters reported that the Nigerian Army was secretly detaining Mohammed after exposing how he laundered funds for Buratai.
