The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested four top officials of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) over fraud allegations.

They were arrested over suspicious payment of over N2 billion Duty Tour Allowance (DTA) to themselves, according to sources at the commission. The sources asked not to be named because they were not authorised to speak to the press on the matter.

The suspects, according to the sources, include the Director, Finance and Accounts of the NCAA, Bilkisu Adamu Sani.

The rest are Deputy General Manager, Treasury, Hart Benson Fimienye, the Deputy General Manger (Managemen Accounts), Obene Jenbarimiema Turniel, and the General Manger (Accounts and Stores), Nathaniel Terna Kaainjo.

Apart from Mr Kaainjo, who was arrested and taken into EFCC’s custody on Thursday (16 March), the sources said, the rest of the sources were arrested on Monday (20 March)
