The [[$2 billion arms deal]] was exposed following the interim report of Buhari's investigations committee on arms procurement under the Goodluck Jonathan administration. The committee report showed extra-budgetary spending to the tune of N643.8 billion and additional spending of about $2.2 billion in the foreign currency component under Goodluck Jonathan's watch. Preliminary investigation suggested that about $2 billion may have been disbursed for the procurement of arms to fight against the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. The investigative report indicated that a total sum of $2.2 billion was inexplicably disbursed into the office of the National Security Adviser in the procurement of arms to fight against insurgency, but was not spent for the purpose for which the money was disbursed. Investigations on this illegal deal led to the arrest of [[Sambo Dasuki]], the former National Security Adviser who later mentioned prominent Nigerians involved in the deal. Those who were mentioned and arrested includes [[Raymond Dokpesi]], the Chair Emeritus of [[DAAR Communications Plc]], [[Attahiru Bafarawa]], the former Governor of Sokoto State, and [[Bashir Yuguda]], the former Minister of State for Finance, [[Azubuike Ihejirika]], the [[Chief of Army Staff (Nigeria)|Chief of Army Staff]], [[Adesola Nunayon Amosu]], the former [[Chief of the Air Staff (Nigeria)|Chief of the Air Staff]], [[Alex Badeh]] and several other politicians were mentioned.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
