The House of Representatives committee on Aviation, this afternoon began hearing on the purchase of two armoured cars for the aviation minister, Stella Oduah, at the cost of N255 million.

The hearing was earlier scheduled to hold on Tuesday but was postponed to allow the minister, who was away in Israel for a bilateral air service agreement signing, to return to the country.

PREMIUM TIMES’ National Assembly correspondent, Ini Ekott, will provide you with updates as they unfold from the hearing room.

Coscharis’ Maduka: To the best of my
knowledge, we followed all due process.
We were interviewed by SSS. We were
interviewed by the National Security
Adviser. Every due process by law was
followed. “We do business with morality,”
he says.
Another Coscharis official: Armoured cars
are in levels; Level B7 is the highest for
any civilian/VIP armoured cars. More than
that is for military tanks.

Re: Stella Oduah Armoured Car Scandal House Committee Hearing – Live Updates by theshadyexpress(m): 3:26pm On Oct 30, 2013
Coscharis: The controversial cars are level
B7. The BMW 760 series, bought by NCAA,
goes for 418 thousand Euro from factory
without shipping cost, taxes, etc.
Coscharis offers to demonstrate a
powerpoint to show how it arrived at the
cost. But is disallowed by committee.
14.55
Coscharis’ Maduka: “People have spoken,
different media have written, I kept quiet.
Nobody has called me to ask anything. But
I thank God for this opportunity to state my
own side of the story.”
“People have called me from US embassy
to ask when did you start money
laundering.”
He says the whole controversy is
“politically motivated”. He pleads to be
allowed to speak.
Mr Maduka said the matter is so important
that his Uncle died and will be buried
tomorrow, but he has to attend the sitting.
He said he is prepared to give details how
Coscharis arrived at the price.

First Bank cannot explain how the loan
given to NCAA for all its 54 cars climbed
from earlier stated N564 million to N643
million.
The bank claimed earlier that the difference
was because the two armoured cars were
not included-apparently untrue because of
the cost.
Under questioning by the committee, the
bank now says only the NCAA can explain
the difference; the bank says it was only
concerned about what the NCAA as a
customer asked for.
“Our job as financier are based on what the
customers are asking for”

First Bank: The armoured BMWs were not
part of the first order from NCAA which
comprised mainly Land Cruisers totaling
less than N600 million.
House chair, Nkiruka Onyejeocha: So could
it be that the BMWs were an afterthought?
First Bank: That’s for the NCAA to answer.

"The cars inspected by the House committee yesterday, Tuesday, are different from the ones stated in the documents between NCAA and Coscharis, the reps said. Lawmakers say they saw cars with different chassis number from those on the communication between NCAA and Coscharis." But Coscharis said since it did not inspect the cars with the House members, it cannot say whether that was the car delivered to NCAA. The firm insists it has done no wrong.

15:31

"Coscharis admits telling Ministry of Finance/NSA the cars were meant for Lagos state government, but said the arrangement was a usual "sponsor practice" for an event like the sports festival, and there was nothing wrong with that. The company insists it did not lie. It said during the events the company gives cars for use by government, in exchange for waivers that would be used for importing new ones as replacement.

With a lot of gusto, Coscharis said it price was right. But lawmakers have busted that claim by revealing that the firm sent different prices to NCAA and NSA. Coscharis also claims the car in question goes for N87.7million(factory price) without tax, shipping etc. But a lawmaker has confirmed that he received a quotation from an American firm for the same car for about N42million. Jerry Manwe(a member): "Your own bullet proof is not manufactured in the moon"
, Coscharis says a seven series in America is different with what they got from Europe."

The Customs representatives at the hearing said
Coscharis lied to the Ministry of Finance and NSA,
making them to believe that the cars were for
Lagos state government, for the National Sports
festival.
The NSA office issued End User certificate without
knowing that it was doing so for cars to be
delivered to Stella Oduah or the NCAA.
So, in a way, the NSA office is right to have told
PREMIUM TIMES it did not issue end user
certificate for any bullet proof cars for Minister
Oduah and the NCAA.
14.11
Deputy Comptroller General of Customs, Manasa
Daniel Jatau, said the following
The two cars were imported through Tin Can Port
2; Imported from Antwerp Netherlands.
The vehicles were cleared 19/6/2013.
Coscharis imported the cars without paying
import duties since there was a waiver from the
ministry of finance.
Coscharis obtained the waiver claiming the
armoured cars were part of 300 vehicles imported
for the Sports festival in Lagos last year, and
therefore the beneficiary was Lagos state
government.
The due import duty should have been N10.1
million.
The cars had an End User Certificate from the
NSA office in the name of Coscharis.
The waiver obtained by Coscharis was for one
year; as such the time of importation this year
was covered.
Customs admit its laws requires that it enforces
duty on any item for which waiver was obtained,
which was not used for the purpose stated-in this
case, for Sports festival.

Car dealers as well as end users of armoured cars
are mandated to seek authorization from the
office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, before
ordering or importing such vehicles into Nigeria.

This saga is deeper than we thought. There is need to ask what Ngozi of Finance Ministry knew about the waiver given by Finance Ministry.

This people hate Lagos Government so much but they are using the name of Lagos State to foment fraud of big proportion.

The problem is that; this people will walk free like Farook, Otedola and others.

Such a kiddo sense, as if your modafuckin opinion ever counts. Coscharis does business in Lagos and pays taxes in Lagos so why shouldn't they mention Lagos in everything they are doing? Should they mention the states they don't pay taxes to? Do you have sense at all?

You are also a rogue for defending the indefensible. Why lied the vehicles were meant for the government of Lagos State? They made the Customs believe these vehicles were purchased by Lagos State government, whereas they were meant for Stella Oduah. The vehicle were not even for NCAA as they stated on the document.

It is not a crime to buy bullet proof vehicles. But at what cost? Are they being bought for what you claim they are for? Are you buying them with public funds when your intention is to use them personally?

Don't forget, Stella first denied the report when it was first reported by Sahara Reporters.
