The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has recovered
the sum of $1m hidden in one of the mansions of the immediate past Chief of
Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.).
According to reports, the foreign currencies were found at
his mansion at No 6, Ogun River Street, Maitama, Abuja.
It was learnt that many witnesses including his neighbours
flooded the house while detectives where carrying out the search and they can
