Managing Director of FAAN, Capt. Rabiu Yadudu in his speech at a training powered by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) and FAAN at the international wing of MMIA on Wednesday December 8, said details of indicted security officers will be forward to their various headquarters.
