Still on Oduah's case: DG of NCAA hunts whistleblower.

As the pressure mounts for the resignation of the Minister of Aviation and her subsequent probe over the bullet-proof cars scandal, the DG of NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, recently held a press conference on Friday October 18th at the ministries HQ in Abuja. He said that the Federal Government was concerned about how the information got leaked to
the public, saying that whoever
leaked it committed a criminal
offence.

“I am not saying that this
particular information should
not be put in the public
domain, but how it was
obtained is the concern. If
somebody breaks into an
office and makes copies of
official documents, then the
break-in has become criminal.
So we are in the process of
trying to find the source of this
leakage and I am very
concerned about it because
this information may look
trivial but there are other
information that we have that
are confidential and it is only
fair for us to respect the
confidentiality of information. I
am not saying that they broke
into our office, but they
obtained the information
illegally.”

“I am shell shocked that
government information and
particularly information from
the civil aviation authority has
gotten into public purview in
an illegal manner. It is criminal!
However, what has been done
has been done, but I think
when such information is
gotten, you should have come
to the agency to ask. We are
not shy to take your questions.
"US whistle blower Snowden
went on the run after putting
such information in the public
domain. The sources of the
leak I don’t know, but yesterday, I issued a circular to all staff on this issue. I will read a little part of the circular:
‘Without prejudice to the
nature and the purpose of this
act, you should know that
leakage and ultimate
publication is a matter of great
concern to the authority.’

My opinion:

Is it not interesting that instead of this fellow's attention to be focused on the cure of this disease that lives comfortably in his place of work, he is busy searching for the person that told the world of the disease existence. We wish him best of luck.

But he shouldn't try to devour the whistleblower much. At this point, we begin to see, realize and understand the importance of FOI (freedom of information) bill.

I can bet anyone that if this whistleblower or anyone had asked questions earlier partaining  this case, this revelation will not be made..

Let's watch and see what pill will be swallowed.

Resignation, Sack or probe.
