A court gavel 2

A prosecution witness has detailed how the sum of 10 million Naira was allegedly paid to the wife and children of a former Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) during an ongoing trial involving alleged financial infractions.

Testifying before the court, the witness outlined the tracked financial transactions, linking portions of the disputed funds directly to accounts associated with the family members.

Key Highlights of the Testimony:

  • Fund Trail: The witness presented bank records and transaction histories showing the disbursement of funds from the primary target to accounts belonging to the former CCT chairman’s spouse and children.
  • Alleged Infractions: The proceedings form part of a broader case centering on financial misapplication and abuse of office, with investigators probing how public or corporate funds were allegedly diverted.
  • Next Steps: The defense counsel cross-examined the witness regarding the legitimacy of the transactions, and the presiding judge has adjourned the matter for the continuation of trial.
