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.
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.”
