Stella Oduah's car purchase whistleblower being haunted by NCAA

conference and say they are looking for the
whistle blower who broke the story of the two
BMW armoured cars bought for Aviation
Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah valued at
N225million. Instead of looking for the
whistle-blower, shouldn't they be prosecuting
someone or some people for fraud and
extortion?
The DG of NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, said at
a press conference which held yesterday
Friday October 18th at the ministries HQ in
Abuja, that the Federal Government was
concerned about how the information got
leaked to the public, saying that whoever
leaked it committed a criminal offence.
“I am not saying that this particular
information should not be put in the
public domain, but how it was obtained
is the concern. If somebody breaks into
an office and makes copies of official
documents, then the break-in has
become criminal. So we are in the
process of trying to find the source of
this leakage and I am very concerned
about it because this information may
look trivial but there are other
information that we have that are
confidential and it is only fair for us to
respect the confidentiality of information.
I am not saying that they broke into our
office, but they obtained the information
illegally.”
“I am shell shocked that government
information and particularly information
from the civil aviation authority has
gotten into public purview in an illegal
manner. It is criminal! However, what
has been done has been done, but I
think when such information is gotten,
you should have come to the agency to
ask. We are not shy to take your
questions.
"US whistle blower Snowden went on the
run after putting such information in the
public domain. The sources of the leak I
don’t know, but yesterday, I issued a
circular to all staff on this issue. I will
read a little part of the circular: ‘Without
prejudice to the nature and the purpose
of this act, you should know that leakage
and ultimate publication is a matter of
great concern to the authority.’
The NCAA DG also tried to explain why ONLY
two BMW cars cost N225million. He kinda
blamed it on the car company, saying that it
was bought from a company (Coscharis)
which had no competitors in Nigeria. He said;
“First, each car that you buy nowadays
has a customised aspect to it and this
may impact on the price. The other
factor is what I call the environmental
situation. Yesterday, a gentleman from
Britain met me and said the fares in this
country on British Airways and Virgin
Atlantic are high. And he wondered why
the situation had continued, but he said
it was because Nigerians could  afford it.
“So the other aspect in this particular
context is what I will call the
monopolistic situation on these cars.
Coscharis, as far as I understand, is
about the only guy that sells BMW of this
nature in Nigeria. If he is the only one
selling, then you must buy from him if
you want the car and he can name the
price. So those are factors that may
have resulted. But mind you, I am not
holding brief for this. I do not know how
much the cars cost and I cannot relate
or answer the question on the actual
cost of these cars. But were they
budgeted for? Yes.”
Wow! So whatever Coscharis says is the
price, you pay? Unbelievable! EFCC should get
involved!
