#BBB NEWS| BMW Car Scandal: EFCC Tells Court To Dismiss Former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah’s Lawsuit

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed a preliminary objection to the suit filed by a former Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, seeking court’s protection from probe. (pictured above) Stella Oduah is the former Nigerian Aviation Minister who purchased armored BMW cars for $1.6m

Oduah had, on August 26, 2015, obtained an interim injunction barring the EFCC from taking any action against her as regards the purchase of two armored BMW cars at a cost of N160m in 2013 by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, under her watch.

Justice Mohammed Yunusa of a Federal High Court in Lagos granted the order following an ex parte application by Oduah’s lawyer, Mr. R.A. Oluyede.

Also restrained by the order are the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offenses Commission; the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police.
