A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Monday admitted in evidence a statement made by one late Justin Erukaa, who worked as Personal Assistant to Musiliu Obanikoro, former Minister of State for Defence, before his death.At the previous hearing, Olalekan Ojo , the second defence counsel had tendered the statement made by Erukaa made to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in the course of investigating the alleged N2.2billion fraud against Fayose.
After the judge admitted Erukaa’s statement in evidence, the case proceeded with further cross-examination of Obanikoro, who is the fifth witness to testify for the EFCC against Fayose. Obanikoro said after the agreement with Kareem, he took over Sylvan Mcmanara Ltd’s account in supervisory capacity, adding that all the major decisions taken on the account were cleared with him.
He said he had no records of his transactions with the NSA. He, however, said he would not be surprised if the record of the NSA showed no N2.2billion transaction.The EFCC arraigned Fayose and Sylvan Mcmanara Ltd on October 22, 2018 on 11 counts bordering on criminal breach of trust, stealing and money laundering.
