On Friday, the Office of the NSA recanted the quoted statement, saying Monguno was quoted out of context.

Reacting on behalf of the former army chief in a statement, Osuagwu Ugochukwu, Buratai’s lawyer, expressed that whoever is interested in the details of the disbursement should channel such concerns to the ministry of defence.
