Nigeria Air fraud: Ex-aviation minister rented Ethiopian Airlines plane for three-day show-EFCC

Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika of orchestrating a fraudulent scheme involving the national airline project. The EFCC alleges that Sirika rented an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft for a mere three days to present it as the newly launched Nigeria Air. This display was reportedly part of a larger effort to deceive the public and stakeholders about the airline's operational status.

This development raises serious questions about transparency and accountability in public projects and the potential misuse of government funds.
