At the resumed consecutive sitting, which began on September 21, 2020, Vincent Odafe who is a former director of finance in the Federal Ministry of Special Duties, while being led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Farouk Abdullah told the court that no documents were presented to support the payment of N359m to beneficiaries.

He recalled how the then Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Tahir Haruna, invited him to his office and told him that he was expecting some money from the Federal Ministry of Finance for a special assignment and gave him a list of accounts to be paid.
