Oduah: EFCC grills Coscharis officials

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
has quizzed officials of Coscharis Motors
Limited, the supplier of the BMW bulletproof
cars scandal rocking the aviation sector.
It was gathered that the officials who are
expected to return to the commission today
(Wednesday) were interrogated on Monday
and Tuesday.
The identity of what the source called "top
officials" of the company could however not
be confirmed.
The source said, "It is true top officials of
Coscharis Motors Limited were interrogated.
They were quizzed on Monday and Tuesday.
More people came today (Tuesday). They are
expected to come back tomorrow
(Wednesday).
"The investigation is in top gear already. The
picture is getting clearer."
The anti-graft agency on Tuesday maintained
sealed lips on inquiry made over the
interrogation.
Efforts to get official confirmation from the
EFCC failed.
The EFCC's Head of Media and Publicity,
Wilson Uwujaren, refused to pick repeated
calls placed to his phone.
He also did not reply to a text message from
our correspondent on the issue.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
reportedly had bought the two bulletproof
cars for the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella
Oduah.
This has drawn widespread criticisms across
the country.
Oduah on Thursday denied that the NCAA
bought the two bulletproof cars for her use.
She stated that the agency bought the cars for
its own operations in line with the rising
profile of Nigeria as an ICAO member.
