H Sa&#8217;ad,<br \/>\nthat the defendants actually offered him the bribe. Zhonghao Nig. Ltd is<br \/>\nbeing investigated in a case of conspiracy, embezzlement, money<br \/>\nlaundering, contract splitting, and inflation of contracts.<\/p>\n<p>At the resumed hearing of the matter on Wednesday,\u00a0 the EFCC presented<br \/>\nits 2nd prosecution witness, Abdullahi Lawal, who told the court that,<br \/>\n&#8220;on May 8, 2020,\u00a0 it was a Friday, while I was in my office at No. 7<br \/>\nSuper Quarters, off Sama Road, Sokoto, the 1st defendant, Mr. Meng Wei<br \/>\nKum called me and informed me that he was in Sokoto for the purpose of<br \/>\narranging N100 million for me, and everything will be ready by Monday,<br \/>\nbeing\u00a0 May 11,\u00a0 2020. Instantly, I called the EFCC Ag. Executive<br \/>\nChairman, Mr Ibrahim Magu and told him about what was happening, and<br \/>\nthat I will arrest the 1st defendant at the time of delivering the<br \/>\nmoney. He gave me the approval&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On Monday, at about 3pm, the 1st defendant called and informed me that<br \/>\nthe money was ready and that he was only able to raise N50million due to<br \/>\nthe lockdown and that a balance of N50million will be given at a later<br \/>\ndate. I said okay,\u00a0 no problem. He now informed me that I should come<br \/>\nfor the money in the night,\u00a0 at their office near Sokoto State<br \/>\nUniversity,\u00a0 \u00a0along airport road, Kasarawa Village. I said I didn&#8217;t know<br \/>\nthe office. The 1st defendant said he will wait for me at the Sokoto<br \/>\nState University gate.\u00a0 Immediately after the discussion,\u00a0 I arranged a<br \/>\ngroup of operatives and kept them on standby&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Around 9 pm, he sent me a text message that they were already there. In<br \/>\norder to test how serious he was,\u00a0 I sent him a text message that he<br \/>\nshould leave it until tomorrow.\u00a0 \u00a0He replied that I should come that the<br \/>\nmoney was with them in cash and they didn&#8217;t want the money to sleep with<br \/>\nthem overnight for security reasons.\u00a0 He said that they were already at<br \/>\nthe university gate.\u00a0 I said okay, I will get back to them.\u00a0 I called<br \/>\nthe officers that I arranged for the operation to come and meet me.<br \/>\nThey came in two vehicles and met me along Airport Road. I told them I<br \/>\nwill first go, and after 15-20 minutes,\u00a0 they should come and meet me at<br \/>\ntheir office where the money will be given&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Upon our arrival at the office premises, Mr. Meng (the 1st defendant)<br \/>\nasked me to pack behind a truck that was at the front of a building.<br \/>\nMeng said the truck was packed so that the people in the other building<br \/>\nwould not sight what was happening. He brought out keys and open the<br \/>\ndoor and three of us, including the 2nd defendant, entered into a<br \/>\nparlour and I was given a seat and we all sat down and I was even<br \/>\noffered water&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr Meng welcomed me and introduced Mr. Xu Kuai,\u00a0 the 2nd defendant, and<br \/>\nasked me when they were going to get a clearance? I asked him which<br \/>\nclearance? He replied to a\u00a0 clearance certificate showing that they had<br \/>\nbeen cleared by the\u00a0 EFCC. I told him you haven&#8217;t finished the job and<br \/>\nyou were asking for clearance. He said they will do the job.\u00a0 He now<br \/>\nsaid I should come and see the money&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we entered,\u00a0 I saw cartons of Sona bottled water filled with cash in<br \/>\nNaira. The 1st defendant said, &#8220;Alhaji this is your money&#8221; I asked how<br \/>\nmuch, &#8220;He said its N50million&#8221; I said bring it out and I observed that<br \/>\nthere are seven cartons. They brought it out to the parlour and in order<br \/>\nto gain time for the arrival of my men,\u00a0 I said the money should be<br \/>\ncounted to confirm it.\u00a0 I told them to bring out all the money and count<br \/>\nit out. The money was counted,\u00a0 it was N50million and then,\u00a0 we returned<br \/>\nit inside the cartons and sellotaped and sealed by the 2nd defendant.<br \/>\nThey<br \/>\nalso offered to move the cartons into my car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I agreed but seeing that my men had not still arrived,\u00a0 I decided to<br \/>\nsit them down and discuss something.\u00a0 I asked them when they would give<br \/>\nme the balance, how long will it take? Mr. Meng said very soon but after<br \/>\nthe lockdown because there are shortages of cash. He again asked about<br \/>\nthe clearance. I told him to arrange for the balance first.<\/p>\n<p>At that stage, we heard a knock on the door.\u00a0 The 1st defendant rushed<br \/>\nto the door and I followed him and asked who was knocking the door.\u00a0 Mr.<br \/>\nMeng tried to lock the door,\u00a0 but I pushed him and opened the door.\u00a0 \u00a0My<br \/>\nmen came in and arrested the two of them and searched all the rooms and<br \/>\nthe premises and counted the money under video coverage.\u00a0 During the<br \/>\nsearch,\u00a0 three laptops and documents were recovered. Everything was<br \/>\ndocumented. We now went with the two defendants, N50million and the<br \/>\nother items recovered during the search and also a black jeep&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The N50 million was packed in two denominations of N500 Naira note of<br \/>\nN10 million and N1000 naira note of N40 million arranged in seven<br \/>\ncartoons of Sona table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They were identified and tendered by the prosecution through Lawal<br \/>\n(PW2).\u00a0 The proceedings were not opposed by the defence counsel, A. T<br \/>\nHassan,<\/p>\n<p>The money was tendered and admitted as exhibits by the court.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Sifawa adjourned the case to August, 10,\u00a0 11, and 12,\u00a0 2020 for<br \/>\nthe continuation of trial and that the money is kept in the Central Bank<br \/>\nof Nigeria, Sokoto for safekeeping.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sokoto Zonal Head of Operations of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC),\u00a0 \u00a0Abdullahi Lawal,\u00a0 on Wednesday,\u00a0 July 15,\u00a0 2020, told a Sokoto State High Court, sitting in Sokoto,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
