Mr Usman Aliyu, a prosecution witness in the N2.1bn fraud case filed against Chief Raymond Dokpesi, on Monday told the Federal High Court, Abuja, that the defendant received the money without executing any contract.

Dokpesi, a chieftain of the PDP, was docked by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), for allegedly receiving the money from the office of former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Col. Sambo Dasuki.

Aliyu, an operative of the EFCC, led in evidence by the Commission’s counsel, Mr Oluwaleke Atolagbe, said that Dokpesi received the funds through his company, DAAR Investments and Holdings Ltd.

Dokpesi, former Chairman of DAAR Communications, is facing a seven-count charge, bordering on money laundering and procurement fraud.
Aliyu further said that N60million out of the N2.1billion was transferred to two companies, including Archithesis Ltd and Wood Country Investment Ltd.
“We invited the owners and promoters of these companies, one Ayonbani, who volunteered his statement and confirmed that he received the fund from Dokpesi.
“He stated that the fund was for renovation and reconstruction work he was to carry out at the home of Dokpesi in Edo.’’
An exhibit, marked D- statement of account, was produced in court by the witness to show the details of the transactions.
According to the exhibit, on Jan. 22, 2015, the sum of N500million was credited to the account of DAAR Investment and Holdings Ltd. by the office of the former NSA with no work done.
“The balance in the account before the transaction was N113, 885.28.’’
He also said that on Feb. 4, 2015, there was a credit deposit of another N500million from the office of the NSA to DAAR Investment and Holdings account.
On Feb. 9, 2015, another deposit of N620million was made into the account by the same office of the former NSA.
“On March 19, 2015, Dokpesi’s company account was also credited with N500million.”
Aliyu also analysed the bank statements for the transactions between Dokpesi and the two companies (Archithesis and Wood Country Investment Ltd) with dates.
Responding to a question by the defence counsel, Mr Kanu Agabi (SAN), on whether the account of the office of the NSA was kept with the Central Bank of Nigeria, he answered in the affirmative.
Agabi also asked if funds kept in such account were the proceeds of crime and the witness said no.
The witness also responded in the negative, when he was asked whether he obtained a statement from the defendant.
The witness said he read the defendant’s statement but did not investigate the allegations Dokpesi made, because he was only limited to the N2.1billion received by his company.
Upon further interrogation, he admitted that the defendant had no control over the procedure for making payments in the office of the former NSA.
Justice John Tsoho adjourned the case until Oct. 4 for adoption of addresses.

Sweet Alerts......

Ok

It's happens everywhere, if you want to get rich quickly in Nigeria be a politician or win a government contract... The outrageous and overpriced contracts can make one rich but some still deem it fit not to execute it at all. That's how bad our procurement system has become. So sad.

Where’s Reno and his allies
Everybody should speak against corruption
The masses are the one suffering

I stand with buhari on this
After buhari tenure
He should be probed too
We can’t continue like this
The whole world has left the African continent behind

One of the reasons Jonathan was kicked out for this government but unfortunately, this government packed all the money out of reach even from the Nigerians that voted.

Which Contract Baba-Chair execute?

...Abegi leave the yeyeMan joor. Every BusinessMan in Nigeria knows the easiest way to make Money is to flow with the corruption in the Country.

Wetin dey pain me pass be say the Man dey owe AIT staff salaries.

Kill that bastardized idiotic motherfuvka

Jail him already

Hmmmmmm

No be small

At the end now they will free him,that's the problem of Nigeria.. I SMH for our judiciary..

Mumu talk.


All those adverts he was running for pdp almost on a nonstop basic , is it for free?

Before buhari crumbled ait, ait was the biggest tv station in Nigeria,Tv programs like focus was a very hot cake.so advertising there should be more expensive.

Is it not the same beer u buy 250 in mama Nkechi bar u buy 2000 naira in club 52?

Ha!

This is not new now. Nigeria politicians and government contractors receive funds for contract/project everyday without executing the projects.

Those that manage to execute, deliver substandard jobs.

Imagine adjourning a case till oct. really judiciary is our problem.

It baffles me how someone will receive FULL payment for a job not done. The person that awarded the contract and disbursed the money to him should be arrested as well.

Where are the defenders of looters ?

chasing shadows

That money could have built 400 houses at N5m each. God see una.

The children from hell, Hades children of hate will say it's a lie that it's witch hunting.
2.1 billion naira without doing anything and yet this same man is owing staff salaries , this people are wicked .
Buhari must clean up this mess.
Vote saibaba 2019

Ah!
Where is our own cut?
