The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has quizzed the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Medview Airline, Muneer Bankole.

VAM News reports that the EFCC detained Bankole on Monday at its headquarters in Abuja over a case of alleged diversion of hajj funds.

It was gathered that Bankole arrived at the EFCC headquarters around 11 am following an invitation by the commission regarding the case.
