In a significant development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has apprehended Hadi Sirika, the former Minister of Aviation, as part of an extensive investigation into suspected embezzlement totalling N8,069,176,864.00 allegedly tied to the Nigerian Air scandal.
The unfolding scenario commenced as Hadi Sirika, a prominent figure in the aviation sector, arrived at the EFCC's Federal Capital Territory Command premises promptly at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, where he was swiftly taken into custody for interrogation.
