Former President Goodluck Jonathan's cousin, Azibaola Robert, continues to face charges of fraud involving $40m.
Azibaola and his wife, Stella, and their company, One Plus Holdings, allegedly diverted $40million (Forty Million United State Dollars) purportedly meant for supply of Tactical Communication kits for Special Forces which was transferred from the account of the ONSA with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
At the resumed sitting on Tuesday, a tenth witness in the case, David Nkpe told the court that, analysis of documents relating to ‘One Plus Holdings Nigeria Ltd’, showed that the company received the sum of $40million from ONSA.
Nkpe told the court: “We investigated the utilisation of the funds and discovered that the funds were transferred to other companies including Bureau de Change and some of the funds transferred offshore to countries like London and United Arab Emirates”.
He further told the court that investigation did not find any tactical communication kits procured from that fund.
“Most of the companies that received the money did not supply any goods”, he said.
Justice Dimgba of the Abuja Federal High Court, adjourned the case till July 7, for cross-examination of the prosecution witness.
