The Committee also called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to take over the investigation of alleged indiscriminate sale of the two helicopters by the Nigeria College of Aviation Technology, NCAT.
The decision of the committee to order the arrest of the two came after over five hours of interaction between the Committee and the management of the College, officials of the Ministry of Aviation and other relevant bodies.
The committees mandate is to recover assets valued at trillions of naira and moribund public assets within and outside Nigeria and to unravel reasons behind the hurried sale of the two helicopters without the approval of the Federal Executive Council days to the end of the Buhari administration in 2023
The chairman of the Committee, Hon. Ademorin Kuye, expressed concerns the two helicopters bought at about $2.4 billion were sold by the College at the cost of about $1.2 billion without due process.
Kuye said: âWe requested for documents of any kind of joint venture, there is no response to that whether you have one or you do not have.
âWe requested for list of assets including comprehensive description and specifications of all your list assets, rented apartments including acquisition dates and methods and the current status and conditions of such Assets.
âWe can not say specifically that you have satisfied all of these requests. Though you tried to answer some of them, your response are not adequateâ.
He queried the use of an unlicensed auctioneer who failed to provide needed response to enquiries.
Coordinator Nigerian Army Aviation, Musa Alkali said that the request by the Nigerian Army to make use of the helicopters in the fight against terrorism was turned down, asking that the two helicopters be recovered.
A member of the committee, Midala Balami, however observed that the document presented to the committee were false documents.
The book also examines Nigeria's legal ecosystem, focusing on the LPELR and NBA AI Guidelines. As a bonus, every purchase comes with a FREE eBook titled: How to Use the AI Features in LegalPedia and LawPavilion.
Ohio Books Ltd praises the publication, stating:
