FALANA THREATING TO PETITION COURT, EFCC AGAINST AVIATION/ BMW MINISTER

Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, urging it to investigate the aviation minister, Stella Oduah for fraud and extortion. Falana’s firm said in the petition that the N255 million used by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to purchase two BMW armoured vehicles for Oduah was acquired illegally. It did not follow due process. Falana’s firm threatened to approach the court and compel the EFCC to investigate Oduah.The petition came the same day the NCAA described the leak as criminal and admitted that a manhunt was underway to unmask the whistleblower of the car leak.
