Lilongwe, Malawi--Gen Odillo (left) was head of the army until 2014 when he was sacked by President Mutharika.
Malawi's former army chief has been arrested over a multi-million dollar corruption allegation.
Gen Henry Odillo and his former deputy, Lt Col Clement Kafuwa, are accused of arranging a contract to supply military equipment which was never delivered.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has detained them as part of an on going investigation into government corruption known as "cashgate".
Neither Gen Odillo nor Col Kafuwa have commented on the allegations.
