Operatives of the EFCC on Wednesday
quizzed controversial former Minister of
Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, for over five hours
at the commission's Idiagbon House
headquarters in Abuja. Madam Stella arrived
at the office around 10am where she was
grilled till 3.30pm, before they granted a
provisional bail.
An EFFC source said the former minister was
asked questions and thereafter asked to
make a statement that could aid the
commission’s ongoing investigation into the
purchase of two BMW bulletproof cars by the
Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority at a
controversial sum of N255m.
The Intelligence and Special Operations
Section of the commission has been
instructed to ensure an in-depth
investigation is carried out on the
scandal and nail Stella Oduah...
An EFCC source told Punch that, “The former
minister, Ms. Oduah, was today(Wednesday)
quizzed for more than five hours by
operatives of the EFCC. The ex-minister
arrived at the Commission at about 10am
today, Wednesday, April 2 and left at
3.30pm.
“She was granted a provisional bail after
making useful statement that will assist the
investigation of the scandal.
The Intelligence
and Special Operations Unit is in charge of
the case. Chike, who belongs to ‘Team 3’ led
the team of investigators on Wednesday.
“He is the head of the team of investigators
handling the case but he reports to the
sectional head of ISOS, Mr. Abdul Suleiman.”
It would be recalled that the purchase of the
cars at a whopping N255m had sparked a
nationwide controversy which culminated in
the removal of Oduah on February 12, 2014.
The EFCC had also interrogated five top
officials of the NCAA over the N255m car
scandal. It was learnt that they were asked
to write statements on their involvement in
the scandal and will continue to aid the
case.
The source added, “The commission
interrogated five top officials of the NCAA.
But we will not stop with the NCAA, our
investigators will also interrogate some
officials of FAAN.”
