The witness stated that all the amounts mentioned represented the in-flow of cash into the account of the Joint task force, between September 3, 2014 and May 12, 2015, by NIMASA.

Oyedepo asked the witness to explain to the court the various transactions involving monies going out of the said account between September 5 and 16, 2014.

“On September 5, there are several transactions involving monies going out of the account of the joint task force.

“First, there is a withdrawal of the sum of N100 million which was transferred to one Jaggan Ltd with Diamond bank; a second transfer of N100 million was made again to Jaggan Ltd, and N100 million transferred to paper house Ltd.

“The sum of N100 million was also transferred to Paper house Ltd, another N200 million transferred to East point services Ltd, N100 million transferred to Al-nald Ltd, while the sum of N50 million was again transferred to Jaggan Ltd,” the witness said.

Giving a break down of the transactions carried out from the said Joint task force account on September 9, 2014, the witness told the court that a culmulative transfer of N150 million was made to Jaggan Ltd.

He stated that N100 million was transferred to paper house Ltd, N100 million transferred to Al-nald Ltd, and N150 million transferred to East point services Ltd.

On the break down of transactions carried out on September 10, 2014, the witness told the court that a total of N150 million was transferred to Jaggan Ltd, while the sum of N150 million was transferred to East point integrated services Ltd.

On the break down of transaction executed on Sept. 16, 2014, the witness explained that there was a transfer of about N150. 5 million to Jaggan Ltd, and a transfer of N68.2 million to De new link integrated services Ltd.

He said that there was also a transfer of N150 million and N100 million respectively to East point integrated services Ltd.
