The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has finally invited the former Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah over her role in a N255 million armored car scandal.
Oduah arrived the EFCC headquarters at Idiagbon House approximately 10:30 am and was questioned for more than 5 hours before she was granted a provisional bail and discharge at 3pm.
The former minister is said to have been re-invited back to the EFCC at a later date, even as feelers indicate that the Presidency is keen on ensuring the anti-corruption agency pursues the matter to a logical end in the face of mounting public criticism against the President’s anti-corruption campaign.
A source at the EFCC told Punch “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.”
