The Auditor-General for the Federation's 2024 Annual Report on Non-Compliance and Internal Control Weaknesses has queried the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development over N522.49 million paid for guns and ammunition that were allegedly not delivered. The report stated that N270,020,066.80 was paid in two transactions in January and May 2023 for AK rifles, red-dot sights, and AK ammunition to enhance security at airports. However, the ministry could not provide evidence of approval from the National Security Adviser for the procurement, and required due process documents were missing. Additionally, there was no Store Receipt Voucher to show that the items were received.
