Sirika Denies ₦100bn Nigeria Air Scam, Says Only ₦3bn Released

Former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika has dismissed claims that the Nigeria Air project under former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was a ₦100 billion scam, insisting the initiative was conceived with good intentions and due process. Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Tuesday, Sirika described the reports as misleading. “It is a lie that I spent ₦100 billion. The total budget for the national carrier was ₦5 billion, the total amount released was ₦3 billion, and I left the ministry with over ₦1 billion,” he said. The former minister explained that Nigeria Air was structured as a public-private partnership (PPP) and regulated by the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), which participated actively in the process and issued necessary certificates. The controversial project, launched shortly before Buhari left office, has since come under scrutiny, with Sirika facing trial for alleged corruption […]

EFCC Invites Victims of CBEX Fraud to Aid Investigation

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has called on Nigerians who lost money to the fraudulent cryptocurrency platform, Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), to report at its zonal offices in Ibadan and Lagos. According to EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale, the platform lured investors with promises of unrealistic returns, leading to huge financial losses for many. The Commission is prosecuting three suspects — Adefowoara Abiodun Olanipekun, Otorudo Avwerosuo, and Ehirim Justice Chukwuebuka — over their alleged involvement in the scheme. Victims who invested through CBEX-linked offices in Ibadan and Idimu, Lagos, are urged to assist investigations by reporting to the EFCC Ibadan Zonal Directorate at 164, Reverend Oyebode Crescent, Iyaganku, Ibadan, or the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 at 7A, Okotie-Eboh Street, Ikoyi. EFCC said the step was necessary to secure justice for victims and strengthen prosecution efforts.

Nigeria’s Political Recycling Epidemic: When Failed Leaders Become Untouchable Senators
