company secretary, the head of Internal Audit and other some other senior
members of staff.
It added that the raid might not be unconnected with the
sacking of a senior management worker last Monday. “They interrogated the
company secretary, the head of Audit department and some heads of department,
including asset management, infrastructure and cargo and the operatives didn’t
leave until around 8pm,” the source was quoted. But the corporate
communications and services manager of NAHCO AVIANCE, Mr Tayo Ajakaye who
confirmed the raid in a statement said the chief financial officer, Bamidele
Adelaja attended to the EFCC operatives. “Unable to meet with any of the two
top company officials, they (the operatives) 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. READ ALSO:
