N8 billion Probe : Ex-aviation Minister Hadi Sirika Spends Second Night In EFCC Custody

Former Minister of Aviation, Captain Hadi Sirika, has spent his second consecutive night in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) custody as investigations continue into an alleged N8,069,176,864.00 money laundering probe.

Sources within the EFCC, who requested anonymity due to the matter’s sensitivity, confirmed that Sirika is being questioned about the controversial Nigeria Air project, which has raised concerns nationwide.


The probe aims to unravel the failed project’s circumstances and the extent of financial mismanagement involved.


“The interrogators are also probing Mr. Sirika over the controversial Nigeria Air project that failed. Though the commission is yet to uncover the total amount that was expended on the project, however, investigation is ongoing, and Sirika would be arraigned in court next week as charges are being prepared against him,” a source told Punch.

Another source disclosed, “The former Minister of Aviation is still with us. Sirika slept over here at our FCT Command on Tuesday night, and he’s still with us this Wednesday night, as he’s still being grilled by interrogators.”

The EFCC had earlier revealed alleged fraudulent practices within the Aviation Ministry under Sirika’s tenure, including awarding contracts to companies, one of which reportedly belongs to his younger brother, Abubakar Sirika.

Sirika arrived at the EFCC’s Federal Capital Territory Command on Tuesday afternoon and has since been undergoing intensive questioning regarding his involvement in the alleged fraudulent contracts awarded to Engirios Nigeria Limited, a company owned by his sibling.

The former minister’s detention follows mounting pressure and scrutiny surrounding his tenure as Aviation Minister, particularly regarding the Nigeria Air project and the allocation of contracts.

This is what Bello is running from.
Bello knows there's overwhelming evidence against him hence he is afraid of being arrested.

The same Nigeria Air scam we raised alarm here but Apc thieves and their Ronu counterparts defended it and called us wailers. Now none of them has the decency to even apologize to Nigerians.

All of them are corrupt from the president to the least political public servant. Na who the government say make efcc carry na em be thief.. Had it been emefiele supported Tinubu u all wouldn't know a dime about his embezzlements, we were all hailing him when he brought the new notes and scarcity of naira thinking it would not favour tinubu campaign. Siritka and yahaya bello must have done something against the government thats why they are been attacked by the efcc too. You all should know that efccc is the punishment for politicians that misbehave...

From invitation for questioning to spending two nights at the EFCC custody. If detaining a man will make him enjoy his $8 million in peace, why won't he gladly take it? How many Americans saved $1 million in their lifetime?

EFCC should change their strategy; stop chasing after people who have squandered money. Build a system that stops them from squandering it; that was what Jonathan wanted to achieve before he was booted out.

It's Cerealcar's turn. Soon we ll see dragging of Mal-army, Pat-army etc. Is Nigeria not ashamed of dragging people about corruption in every regime?
Bulari dragged Dansuekey, Diesarny & Goodlacks recruits, Daddy Bulaba is dragging Bularis recruits too. Another president ll come and drag Daddy Bulaba's recruits too and the circle goes on. No serious conviction.
All the screams about Elemefiele, Betamalt etc has died down.
Are we progressing?
The EFCC chair withdrew a suit against Yaya Carpenter. So does it mean he's doing gra-gra or it's corruption fighting back?
We don't know who's boss, who's actor.
In UK, US, China and most developed countries, their dailies don't depict corruption cases like Naijeriya. Wetin sef?
