EFCC Says Stella Oduah Is Still Under Investigation

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that all those involved in the controversial purchase of N255m bulletproof cars by the Nigerian Aviation Civil Authority, including the sacked Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, were still being investigated.

A source at the EFCC, on Thursday in Abuja, said the outcome of the investigation would determine those to be prosecuted.

“We are progressing in the investigation into the scandal and I can assure you that anyone who is found culpable will be prosecuted; just wait and see,” he stated.

The EFCC had late last year interrogated the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Mr. George Uriesi; the Director General of the Nigeria Airspace Management Agency, Mr. Nnamdi Udoh, and the Director General, NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, over the scandal.

The Managing Director of Coscharis Motors Limited, Josiah Samuel, whose firm supplied the bulletproof cars, and officers of First Bank Plc were also quizzed.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that the commission was still investigating the scandal.
