A prosecution witness, one Sulyman AbdulKareem confirmed that he paid N2.3 million into the account of the General Manager of Kwara State Television Authority.



The trial of the embattled General Manager of Kwara State Television Authority,  Alhaji Abdulfatai Adewale Adebowale over alleged N4million ( four million naira) land fraud continued on Thursday.


This is disclosed by the Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).


He said: ”My Lord, after the allocation of ten plots of land to the staff of the Kwara State Television Authority,  the General Manager of the Station,  Alhaji Abdulfatai Adewale Adebowale approached the Director-General of Kwara State Bureau of Land that, there is no way the ten plots could be shared among the staff, let them sell it and bring the money. The DG now linked me with the defendant who instructed me to look for buyers. I sold about four plots for N2.3m. I then contacted Adebowale who told me to bring the cash, but I said, No. I requested for his account number for proper records, and paid the money into his Stanbic IBTC account “, the witness said.


The Ilorin Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is prosecuting Adebowale on a six-count charge bordering on corrupt practices before Justice Sikiru Oyinloye of a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin.

Count three of the charge reads; “That you, Abdulfatai Adewale Adebowale, being a public officer, as the General Manager of Kwara State Television Authority,  sometime between May 2015 and June 2015,  in Ilorin, within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Kwara State,  used your office to confer corrupt advantage upon yourself,  when you received a cash deposit of the sum of N2.3 million through your  IBTC account from Sulyman Abdulkareem, being proceeds from the sale of land allocated to staff of Kwara State Television and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act,  2000”.


The defendant had pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him by the EFCC.


Further hearing in the case has been adjourned till January 14,  2020, for cross-examination of the witness.
