A prosecution witness, Musa Sunday, who is testifying against a former governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, in an alleged N6.2billion fraud, on September 12, 2019, narrated to a State High Court, sitting in Jos, Plateau State, how his aide conveyed cash to him at the Government House.

POLITICS NIGERIA learned that Jang and the aide, Yusuf Pam, a cashier at the Office of the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, are accused of colluding to divert state funds to personal use and are standing trial before Justice Daniel Longji.

Sunday, who is testifying as the 11th prosecution witness, while being cross-examined by Mike Ozekhome, SAN, counsel for Jang, gave a vivid description of how Pam, during investigations into the alleged fraud, took him through the hidden back passage through which he usually used to take cash to Jang.

He said: “The new Government House is located at the outskirt of town amidst a lot of buildings.

“Amongst the buildings was the office of the SSG of the state where Pam and the EFCC detectives reported their arrival to the SSG.

“From the SSG's office we were led to the Government Office, the Governor’s office, a storey-building with two doors one at the main entrance and at the back exit.

“There, Pam showed us how he delivered cash in ‘Ghana must go’ bags to the former Governor.

“He had clearly said and even showed me the back entrances where the cash was stacked and given to the governor.”

While identifying Exhibit P62, a response from the Plateau State House of Assembly dated July 19, 2018 and September 2014, alongside the letter from the EFCC requesting for information, Musa told the court that investigations revealed that memos were written by the Commission of Finance, who was involved in seeking approval for the disbursement of the funds involved in the alleged fraud.

“However, the monies were further transferred from Plateau State One account to OSSG account where the second defendant withdrew cash and delivered to the first defendant,” he said.

While trying to infer that the prosecution of Jang was political, Ozekhome questioned the witness, as to why it took four years before the former governor, who contested under the Peoples Political Party, PDP, was arraigned in court.

“Four years later, Jang was charged on April 4, 2018, and don’t you think this has a political undertone?” Ozekhome queried.

So between 2014 and 2018 when the petition was received and when he was first charged to court, it took four years, don’t you think this has a political undertone?” Ozekhome queried.

Replying, Sunday said: There are laid down procedures following investigation, the legal team take up the cases and charge them to court. All these processes takes time.”

Under cross-examination, the witness further confirmed that about $100,000 was deposited in a single day into the Standard Chartered Bank.

He said: “On the May 6, 2014 $50,000 cash deposit in tranches of $10,000 five times and on May 7, 2014.

“Yakubu Jang, son of the first defendant was among the persons who deposited monies into the account.”

The case has been adjourned to September 13, 2019.

Baba Jang do roads but he steal sha

Thieves in high places

Corruption is bad but double standard and hypocrisy is worse. He who goes to equity must have clean hands. Akpabio and former governor Silva of bayelsa are worse thieves but they are saints because they are in APC.
The corruption fight is a political charade

Please tell me something new

The chief crusader in theft. I remembered that evil genocide that happened under his watch as the chief security officer of that former little London.

He used the political C.A.N kerous association, to hide his looting of public treasury.

The difference between the passengers in the great Titanic and Nigerians is that while the passengers realized the ship was sinking, Nigerians thought Nigeria is still very well afloat....

It's a country filled with shameless people no wonder things are upside down.

RE: N10,000 ($28) For South Africa Returnees. I made this post 4 days ago and some people were asking me for links while others called it a fake news. Today, mainstream media are up with the same news. Sadly, the same Govt that gave initial N55b For rehabilitation of Boko Haram ravaged communities in N/East, N5b to import grass for Cows, N100b For Terrorists Herdsmen, managed to give the returnees that lost their businesses that runs in Millions only $28. There are folks that are defending the government. I will not bother myself about anymore, after all Hitler has teeming supporters. - Chidi Cali
