PESHAWAR: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has recorded statements of five government officials over Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan’s use of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government helicopter.
According to sources, the NAB recorded the statements of four administration officers and one civil aviation officer. The administration department has also submitted to the NAB a list comprising names of people who have travelled in the helicopter. Other documents showed that the helicopter was purchased on November 22, 2007.
On Wednesday, NAB had summoned FATA’s former secretary of administration Hassan Yousufzai, who is presently serving as FATA’s law and order secretary, to record his statement over the matter. He was serving as the secretary of administration when Imran allegedly used the government helicopter for personal trips. The Civil Aviation Authority and Administration Department had previously submitted their records to the bureau.
The NAB Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) wing had already obtained details of Imran’s use of government helicopter from the provincial administration department and the purchase agreement for the helicopter.
