United States and the United Kingdom have refused to dabble in the N255m bulletproof cars scandal rocking the aviation sector.
The two countries said they would not comment on it because it was a domestic issue of Nigeria.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority reportedly bought the two bulletproof cars for the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.
This has drawn widespread criticisms across the country.
But the two superpowers (US and UK), who have been in the forefront of fighting corruption in governance, refused to comment on the saga.
Inquiry made to the UK High Commission showed that the country was not willing to involve itself in the issue.
“There is no UK angle to the questions you are asking. We cannot make any comment about it”, the Communication Manager (Press & Public Affairs Unit) of the British Deputy High Commission, Mr. Wale Adebajo said in a statement.
The US view was not any different.
The Information Officer, US Embassy, Abuja, Rhonda Ferguson-Augustus, said her country had nothing to say about the alleged scam.
In her response she said, “Thank you for your inquiry; The U.S. Government does not comment on internal Nigerian affairs”.
Oduah on Thursday denied that the NCAA bought the two bulletproof cars for her use.
She stated that the agency bought the cars for its own operations in line with the rising profile of Nigeria as an ICAO member. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
