The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has detained the Managing Director of Medview Airline, Alhaji Muneer Bankole over alleged hajj scam.

The suspect allegedly diverted 50 per cent of funds paid to him by the National Hajj Commission, and additional $900,000 for the airlift of pilgrims in 2019, which he failed to execute.

He was reportedly detained on Monday afternoon at the headquarters of the EFCC in Jabi, Abuja.

A source revealed that Bankole, who arrived at the EFCC complex at 11am was invited by the anti-graft agency following his failure to execute the airlift contract after receiving the mobilisation funds.

“He was given 50 per cent advance payment as well as additional $900,000 for airlift of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia by the National Hajj Commission in 2019 but he failed to execute the contract and he also did not refund the money,” an official disclosed.

The man doesn’t look like a criminal. I know criminals when I see one, because I have been in the business of crime for 26 years before I retired. I was jailed for 8 year in the US and spent a total for five years in jails in Thailand, Pakistan and brazil. Trust me, I have seen all kinds of criminals and this face doesn’t look like one. Look deep and you will realize that there is a government official somewhere who ate that money

Hajj is not free, people pay to go perform Hajj.


I can see some people up there saying it a waste of money, what is your business if I decide to waste my money?

For clarification sake, Pilgrims pay for their air tickets, lodgings and feeding through out there stay in Saudi Arabia. The Hajj Commission is just coordinating. The $900,000 and 50% payment belongs to prospective hajj contributors.
