The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, June 13, 2019, tendered more evidence against Ibrahim Abdulsalam, a former Managing Director of the National Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) Managing Director, who is being prosecuted before Justice Babs Kuewumi of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos over an alleged N2.8bn fraud.
