A contractor, Mr. Mustapha Yerima,
Monday, narrated before the Federal
High Court in Abuja, how the former
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal
Alex Badeh, paid his firm, Rytebuilders
Technologies Limited, N1.2billion to
construct a multipurpose shopping
mall for him in Abuja.
Badeh is facing trial over allegation that
he diverted over N3.9bn from accounts
of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, within
2013.
He is answering to a 10-count criminal
charge the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, preferred
against him.
At the resumed hearing Monday,
Yerima, who testified as the fourth
prosecution witness, PW-4, told the
court that Badeh paid N650million to
acquire the land where the mall was
constructed.
He said that the land situate at plot
1386, Oda Crescent, Cadastral Zone,
A07, close to Aminu Kano Crescent in
Wuse II, Abuja, was originally
registered in the name of one Ayodele
Fayose.
Though Yarima, who is the Managing
Director of Rytebuilders Technologies
Limited, did not clarify if the Fayose he
made reference to is the current
Governor of Ekiti State, he however told
the court that at the point negotiation
was to commence on land, it was
discovered that the ownership had
been transferred to one Mr. Tony who
he said was the owner of Hytechs
Furniture.
