The Second Prosecution Witness, PW2, Hamza Abdullahi in the trial-within-trial of former Sokoto State governor, Attahiru Bafarawa and four others, on Wednesday, told Justice Y. Halilu of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court, that a sum of N4.

633 billion was traced to the account of Dalhatu Investment Limited where Bafarawa’s son, Sagir Attahiru Bafarawa and one other, simply identified as Nasir, were directors, with the former being the sole signatory to the company’s bank account.

Abdullahi further informed the court that Sagir Attahiru Bafarawa, who is the fourth defendant was interviewed on November 25, 2015 by the investigation team and that he made his statement voluntarily. “My Lord, there was nothing like promises made to the accused, threat or inducement. To the best of my knowledge, there was nothing like that. It was a very conducive environment and that was the Secretariat of the Special Task Force at the Head Office then. The secretariat is the conference room of the Chairman, and no member of the Special Task Force is authorized to make any promise in the course of investigation.
