In October 2013, Nigeria’s former Minister of
Aviation Stella Oduah made headlines for acquiring two black
BMW 760 Li HSS bullet proof cars.
The cars valued at $1.6 million (N255 million)
was purchased by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority – NCAA
for Oduah.
Joe Obi, the Special Assistant
to Oduah during her tenure, claimed the cars were purchased for “security
reasons”. If you missed the info, read it here.
Yesterday the House of Representatives Committee
on Aviation, ordered the NCAA to return the cars to the contractor and recover
the money.
The cars are currently parked in Abuja, with no
government official making use of them.
Nkiruja Chidubem Onyejeocha said
NCAA has no reason for keeping the cars, stressing the contract term between
the NCAA and Coscharis Motors be cancelled.
“What we said about the bullet proof cars is that the contract should be cancelled and that they do not have any business keeping the cars. It should be returned to the supplier and then recover our money,” Onyejeocha said.
