Read Time:33 Second
The former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, and his daughter, Fatima, have arrived at the Federal High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where they will be arraigned for an alleged N2.7bn fraud in connection with the botched Nigerian Air project.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has slammed six counts on the former minister, his daughter, and two others.
The anti-graft agency accused Sirika of conferring undue advantage on some entities between April 2022 and March 2023 in Abuja.
It added that the embattled minister abused his office by awarding a consultancy fee of N1.3bn for the Nigerian Air Start-up to Tianero Nigeria Limited.
