Abia State Governor Alex Otti has revealed that investigations into the alleged ₦10 billion fake Abia airport project are still ongoing, noting that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is still inviting individuals connected to the suspected fraud.
The governor made this known on Friday night during his monthly media parley in Umuahia, dismissing speculations that the issue had been covered up.
“The EFCC is still working on the audio airport. Some people are still being invited, and at the end of the investigation, anyone found culpable will face the consequences,” Otti said.
Shortly after assuming office, Otti accused his predecessor, Okezie Ikpeazu, of allegedly expending state resources on a non-existent airport project, challenging him to either produce the airport or account for the funds.
