Twelve senior Nigerian army officers have been handed over to the anti-corruption agency for their alleged involvement in an arms scandal. The army did not name them, but said they included six serving generals.
If the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) finds enough evidence against them, they would be tried in a military court, the army said.
A presidential inquiry last year found that fake contracts worth $2bn (£1.3bn) were awarded by last administration.
It alleged that the money, which was meant to buy arms to fight the Islamist Boko Haram group, has gone missing.
The former national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki, was charged in December in connection with the case involving $68m that is alleged to be missing. He was accused of awarding phantom contracts to buy helicopters, fighter jets and ammunition, which he denied.
