Oduah’s amoured cars should have cost N75.8m, not N225m —Investigation (Oduah has pocketed the balance)
Aviation, Headlines Monday, October 21st, 2013
THE Chief Executive Officer of Armouring LLC based in the United States, Dave Simmons, has said that to purchase armour and deliver the BMW 760LI to Nigeria would cost a maximum of N37.9 million, which would bring the cost of the two vehicles bought for the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, to N75.8 million instead of the N225 million paid by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
The two BMW 760LI cars bought by the NCAA for the minister for N225 million should not have cost more than N46.4 million, less armouring and delivery to Nigeria.
This revelation was made by an online news medium, Persecond News, based on a finding at the BMW outlet in the United States of America.
The news medium, which operates at www.persecondnews.com, said a visit by its reporters to the BMW outlets in Maryland, United States of America, revealed that a fully loaded 2014 BMW 760LI costs less than $145,000, which is about N23.2 million.
In essence, the two cars should have cost the NCAA and Oduah less than N46.4 million.
Persecond News also reported that the entire cost of the vehicle, including armouring and delivery to Nigeria, has been put at N37.9 million by a United States of America-based firm, Armouring LLC, which specialises in armouring vehicles of all makes.
Simmons said the BMW 760LI is a combination of dynamic and refined BMW, which has a V-8 engine with TwinPower Turbo technology and 400 horsepower, making it ideal for added armour.
