Motors Cosmos Maduka again expressed outburst yesterday at the House of Representatives investigative panel on the purchase of armoured cars valued at N255 million by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).
The chairman on Wednesday alleged that the investigation was politically motivated. The committee had asked Coscharis to present some documents providing the chassis number of one of the cars.
It said one of the chassis numbers provided by Coscharis differed from the cars they inspected, raising suspicion among the lawmakers. But when Josiah Samuel who is Coscharis MD was called by the committee to explain, he said they confirmed the number and that the said car was actually supplied for another customer, saying it was a case of mistaken transposition.
However, when the committee demanded for the document, it discovered that there was no quoted chassis number. At this point, Rep Zakari Mohammed accused Coscharis of misleading the lawmakers.
Maduka stood up and shouted, “No, we said you should give us time yesterday to play the video for the cars so that you would see them, but you refused.” Chairman of the committee, Nkiruka Onyejeocha, then ordered Maduka to sit down saying, “No, you can’t do this hear. Sit down and take some water!”
Maduka then said, “We have the original document in Lagos, but this one was scanned and sent to us. Somebody is on his way coming with the original. We only do clean business. We don’t do monkey business. We have integrity to protect!”
