Oduahgate: Presidential panel submits report

The administrative panel set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to investigate the role of the embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, in the purchase of two bulletproof BMW cars by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has submitted its report, Saturday PUNCH can report authoritatively.

Our correspondent learnt that the panel which has a former Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Isa Bello, as its chairman submitted the report to the President on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The submission came about two days after the expiration of the two-week deadline given the panel. The deadline expired on Monday.

The report, it was learnt, was secretly presented to Jonathan by the Bello-led panel which also has the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), and Air Vice Marshal Dick Iruenebere (retd.) as members.

The development confirmed THE PUNCH’s exclusive story on Monday that the presentation of the report might also be kept away from public glare just like the panel’s meetings which were held secretly in the Office of the NSA.

Bello refused to answer the calls made to his mobile telephone line on Friday.
