Stella Oduah, former
minister of aviation, has been quizzed by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) over an N9.4bn alleged fraud during her tenure.
TheCable
learnt that she arrived at the EFCC headquarters at 11am yesterday to honour a
longstanding invitation.
The
senator representing Anambra north was still being grilled as at 6pm yesterday.
“She
was invited over allegations ordering on abuse of office and money laundering.
One of the allegations concerns fraud in the N9.4bn ISEC contract for security
installations in some airports,” the source said.
Earlier
in the month, Oduah issued a statement to deny the alleged diversion of funds
under her watch as minister.
Oduah
who was in charge of the aviation ministry from July 2011 to February 2014, maintained
that all contracts awarded during her tenure followed due process.
