FORMER Aviation Minister Stella Oduah was a guest of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) yesterday.
She was grilled for about five and half hours over the N255million bulletproof cars’ scam, which led to her sack.
The ex-minister got a provisional bail
following the need to re-invite her for more questioning. But it was
unclear last night when Oduah will return to the commission.
A team is analysing the ex-minister’s response to identify areas for further clarification.
It was gathered that Oduah arrived quietly at the EFCC Headquarters in Abuja at about 10am.
She was ushered into the Operations Department of the anti-graft agency where she was questioned till 3.30pm.
A source, who spoke in confidence, described Oduah’s mood as “pensive”.
The source said: “The team asked her to....
explain what led to the purchase of two bulletproof (armoured cars) for
N255million; the purpose; and whether there was appropriation for it or
not in the 2013 budget.
“She was asked for evidence of due
process or concurrence/ approval by the Bureau of Public Procurement and
whether her approval value was not above the limit of Ministerial
Tenders Board or not.
“She was also asked to confirm if she
was aware that the approved revised thresholds for service wide
application (pursuant to Section 16(2) Public Procurement Act 2009 put a
minister’s limit at N100million.”
