He is facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC\u00a0on 18-count charges of money laundering and misappropriation\u00a0to the tune of over\u00a0N3 billion, alongside Abba Daudu, Yakubu Adabenege, and Iyada Sadat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Led in evidence by the prosecution counsel,\u00a0Rotimi Oyedepo,\u00a0SAN, the witness disclosed\u00a0that in one of the occasions, Daudu,\u00a0the second defendant brought\u00a0$300,000 (Three Hundred Thousand Dollars)\u00a0in\u00a0cash to him for the payment\u00a0of\u00a0Yahaya Bello\u2019s daughters\u2019\u00a0school fees.\u00a0&#8220;Abba Daudu called me to say that they have a transaction though it was on the weekend, but I drove down to the office and waited for them to come. Upon their arrival, three of them came. One of them stayed in the car with the driver, two of them walked to my office and a friend of Abba Daudu was holding black leather bag containing $300,000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUpon entering, he greeted and Abba Daudu introduced him as his friend and business partner saying he has a transaction. He dropped $300,000 in cash. I wanted to count the dollars before they left, but I could not due to the power outage. I told him I cannot use my hands and needed to confirm that it was $300,000, so I locked the dollars in my office safe and two of them left.\u00a0Then,\u00a0Abba Daudu\u2019s friend said when I confirmed the sum, details will be forwarded to me for payment. However, the sum of $300,000 attracts some service charges which he said I should calculate and let Abba Daudu know. After I completed the transfer, I forwarded four receipts indicating $75,000 four times to Abba Daudu, and he confirmed to me that the payment was confirmed successfully,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When asked by the prosecution counsel\u00a0if\u00a0he knew anything regarding the transactions\u00a0on Exhibit D, Pages\u00a050, 52 and 53,\u00a0he\u00a0said \u201cYes I know the transactions of $75,000,\u00a0being paid to the school four times totalling,\u00a0the sum of $300,000 as forwarded by Abba Daudu and further confirmed that the fees was paid for\u00a0one of Yahaya Bello\u2019s daughters.\u00a0\u201cAnd the name of the recipient is Naima Ohunene Bello,\u201d he\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another payment of the fees, he recalled, was done by a company,\u00a0Aleshua Solutions\u00a0Services\u00a0which,\u00a0he said paid the sum of $42,170 for Naima Ohunene Bello. &#8220;It was paid on behalf of the student Naima Ohunene Bello for school fees based on the instruction and as forwarded by Abba Daudu, and the date is 24th January, 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On\u00a0Page 7\u00a0of the Exhibit D, was $78,160 he identified as payment for school\u00a0fees\u00a0through Aleshua\u00a0Solutions Services in respect of\u00a0another Yahaya Bello\u2019s daughter,\u00a0Fatima Oziohu Bello. \u201cBased on the receipt before me, I am seeing acknowledgement of $78,135 being paid for Fatima Bello and on the Aleshua Solutions Services.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Page\u00a0One\u00a0of Exhibit D,\u00a0he identified\u00a0a transaction of $44,675\u00a0also\u00a0for Naima Bello.\u00a0 \u201cI have seen it on the receipt of the payment.\u00a0Forty-four thousand, seven hundred dollars,\u00a0($44,700)\u00a0was paid to the school, but due to internal charges from the bank,\u00a0$25 dollars was deducted, making the total balance of $44,675.00,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The beneficiary school, he told the court, was\u00a0American International School (AIS).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regarding\u00a0transactions from Daudu\u2019s company, \u00a0Keyless Nature Limited to his\u00a0own\u00a0Kunfayakun company\u2019s\u00a0account\u00a0on December\u00a015\u00a0and 17, 2021, he said:\u00a0\u201cI received the sum of\u00a0N100 million on the 15th\u00a0December 2021 from Keyless Nature.\u00a0On the 17th\u00a0December, 2021, I received\u00a0N400 million.
