The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has picked up ex-Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, over an ongoing N8,069,176,864.00 money laundering probe.
According to Punch, Sirika arrived at the Federal Capital Territory Command of the EFCC at about 1pm on Tuesday.
Following his arrival at the command, the former Minister is currently meeting with EFCC investigators to answer questions on alleged fraudulent contracts awarded by him to a company known as Engirios Nigeria Limited, owned by his younger sibling, Abubakar Sirika.
Impeccable anti-graft sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorised to speak, confirmed the development to our correspondent on Tuesday.
“Yes, that was Hadi Sirika who was taken into our FCT custody. He is currently meeting with EFCC investigators over the alleged N8,069,176,864.00 aviation ministry contract fraud,” a source revealed.
Another source noted, “The N8,069,176,864.00 aviation ministry contract fraud was carried out in connivance with his younger brother, Abubakar Sirika, through the latter’s company.”
