The commission’s account also says the case involves additional suspects, named by one outlet as Ali Baffa, an Inspector 1 with Aviation Security (AVSEC), along with Aushabu Nasidi and Mukhtar (surname not fully provided in the available excerpt). The reports indicate the EFCC is investigating the circumstances of the alleged smuggling attempt and the roles of the suspects.
