A former Nigerian chief of defence has been accused of stealing $20 million from the air force and buying a mansion.

Retired Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh denies 10 charges of fraud, criminal breach of trust and money laundering. He was appointed chief of defence two years ago.

More than $1m in cash was also reportedly found at one of his homes.

The BBC’s Martin Patience says Air Chief Marshall Badeh is the latest of several officials accused of stealing billions of dollars from Nigeria’s armed forces.
