The office of the National Security Adviser and the Ministry of Finance gave full approval for the purchase of N255 million two armoured cars for aviation minister, Stella Oduah; but both offices were misled by Coscharis Motors, the supplier of the cars, into believing the cars were meant for last year’s National sports festival in Lagos.
While the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, approved the importation of the security vehicles and issued the End User certificate without knowing they were meant for Ms Oduah; finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, approved a huge waiver of import charges totalling N10.1 million.
Insiders in the office of the NSA had exclusively told PREMIUM TIMES that the office did not approve any end user certificate for armoured cars procured for either Ms. Oduah and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.
In official correspondences, it appeared both officials were led to believe the two cars, which in fact were for Mrs Oduah, were required by the Lagos state government as part of 300 cars needed for the 2012 National Sports Festival hosted by the state, according to testimonies at Wednesday’s hearing of the House aviation committee investigating the car scandal.

I think this has now gone too far. There is no way she can remain in office regardless.
