Messrs Bashkhar Sina, Pious Francis and Chaderashekhar, who were reportedly deported over the weekend, were the three directors of Stallion Group arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] while on the trail of the Vaswani brothers, but were later granted bail pending the outcome of investigations into the alleged $3 billion import fraud.
