The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, November 14,
2016continued the examination of its first prosecution witness, PW1,
Alade Oluseye Sunday, on a case of alleged fraud against Abiodun Agbele,
an aide to the governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, before Justice
Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja.
Sunday,
a manager and Branch Head of the Zenith Bank Plc., Akure, whose
evidence started on Thursday, October 27, 2016, maintained that the sum
of N1,219,490,000 (one billion, two hundred and nineteen million, four
hundred and ninety thousand naira) that was conveyed via two aircrafts
were handed over to him by the first defendant (Agbele).
"The
money was mostly in N1000 notes while the rest were in N500 bills.
Agbele gave us the instruction to transfer the monies to different
accounts. Some were paid into De Privateer Limited, some into Spotless
investment limited while some where paid into Ayodele Fayose’s account”,
Sunday maintained.
The witness, while reading from exhibit AA1B
stated that, N100million was credited to Spotless Investments;
N219.490million was credited to De Privateer Limited; another
N300million was credited to De Privateer Limited; another N200million
was credited to De Privateer Limited; N200million was also credited to
De Privateer Ltd; N137million was credited to Ayodele Fayose’s account
and the balance N263 million was taken by Abiodun Agbele to Ado Ekiti.
“I saw Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, come down from the aircraft to speak with Agbele”, he said.
Under
cross-examination by Agbele’s counsel, Mike Ozekome, Sunday maintained
that he had never met the first defendant and had never discussed any
money matters with him prior to June 2014.
“I got worried when I
saw the huge amount of money conveyed by the aircrafts that day. It
took us ten working days to count the money and each day, the uncounted
sum is stored in the strong room as ‘boxed’ cash”, said Sunday.
Asked
whether he reported the transaction as suspicious to any authority, the
witness said he did not because it was nothis job to do so.
The case has been adjourned to November 17, 2016 for further hearing.
Agbele
is facing an 11-count charge for allegedly diverting N4.6billion from
the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
