Group calls for arrest, prosecution of ex-Minister, Sirika, over Nigeria Air scandal

A Northern group under the aegies of Concerned Northern Forum (CNF), has called for the arrest and prosecution of immediate past Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika over the scandal associated with the Nigeria Air project.

The forum, in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by its Chairman, Ali Muhammad, said Sirika and all involved in the alleged fraud must be investigated thoroughly and those found wanting be made to face the full weight of the law.

The forum called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) not to wait any further in arresting Sirika alongside the co-perpetrators that took part in “deceiving Nigeria, shaming it before the international community.”
