8:01Now PlayingA strategic security consultant, Mr Max Gbanite, says the $9.3 million meant for an arms deals could be a black operation that was not professionally carried out.
Giving his opinion on Friday on the arms deal issue that has generated mixed reactions, Mr Gbanite said that the government's acceptance that the money was meant for the procurement of arms was a sign that it was a black operation that was not well planned and executed.
He said that a sanction had been placed on Nigeria in relation to arms procurement, a condition that had necessitated the plan to get arms through the "back door".
"Attempts to bring in required hardware into Nigeria has been frustrated as a result of the sanction that had been placed on the nation.
"Going back to 1997-1998, I was in the forefront telling people like Bola Tinubu, the NADECOs that they should not ask for sanctions against Nigeria. When you embed sanctions, it is very difficult to remove that sanction. So, Patrick Leahy's Law was put in place that banned the sales of tactical weapons or hardware to Nigeria.
