Why EFCC visited our office-NAHCO
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday, July 28, visited the Head Office of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) Plc.
The visit which was without incident was basically a fact-finding one as the operatives asked to the see the MD/CEO, Mr. Norbert Bielderman, who was currently out of the country.
In the absence of the MD, they asked to see the Executive Director/Company Secretary, Mrs. Folashade Ode, who was also out of the premises at the time.
Unable to meet with any of the two top Company officials, they then requested to see the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Bamidele Adelaja, with whom they spent some time sorting out some Company documents which they were interested in.
Spokesman for NAHCO, Mr. Tayo Ajakaye said the CFO confirmed that he was shown a search warrant by the EFCC officials even as he added that NAHCO was always ready to cooperate with government agencies and regulators in every way and was ready to do so in the present case.
The visit which started around 4.00PM ended a little after 7.00 PM when the operatives left with a few documents.
The actual cause of the visit remains uncertain as the EFCC officials were tight lipped about the reason for their visit.
In the meantime, we can confirm that the MD/CEO, Norbert Bielderman is expected back in the country on the night of Tuesday, August 2, 2016.
