''Aviation Minister Stella Oduah Is Too Rich To Compel An Agency Under Her To Buy Her Armored Cars Worth $1.6M'' - Aviation Spokesman

Aviation authorities in Lagos attempted a vigorous push back on Tuesday report that the nation’s aviation minister, Stella Oduah, abused her office by compelling the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to purchase two armoured BMW cars for her worth N255 million.

Sahara Reporters, claimed in an investigation report that Mrs. Oduah compelled the NCAA, an agency under her supervision, in a presumed case of corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of office, to procure the cars for her with public funds. See the full report HERE.

Aviation spokesman, Yakubu Datti, dismissed the report as “rumours” suggesting that it was politically motivated.

He said:

“I don’t respond to rumours…[and] as we approach 2015, people are bound to make up all sorts of stories”.

“This is a woman (Mrs. Oduah) who is successful and established. A woman that made her mark in oil and gas, who owned trucks, barges, and so on. What is two cars?”

Are they saying all these documents were forged and signed by Sahara Reporters? #JustAsking
