Abubakar Madaki, a prosecution
witness in the ongoing trial of Raymond Dokpesi, on Friday told the federal
high court, Abuja, that the former chairman of DAAR Communications, received
money for doing nothing.
Madaki, under cross examination
by Dokpesi’s counsel, Kanu Agabi (SAN), said: “Dokpesi was paid for doing
nothing, for rendering no service.”
The witness said the N2.1 billion
under investigation was funds from the office of the national security adviser
(NSA), which was then headed by Sambo Dasuki.
According to him, all the funds
in the account of the NSA are for national security.
The witness, an operative of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), said he was part of the team
appointed by the commission to investigate funds meant for national security
that were allegedly diverted.
He told the court that the funds
were allegedly diverted even by those who they were not entrusted to.
When Agabi sought to know what
evidence he had of the diversion, the witness said: “The funds were found in
their accounts when they had no reason to take it.
“This is because they could not
account for any contract they executed for such payments.”
Justice John Tsoho adjourned the
matter until April 13 for continuation of cross examination of the witness.
Dokpesi and his company, DAAR
Investment, are standing trial over the N2.1 billion received from the office
of the former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.
No surprise here, this is the same guy who hires an American who works for 10 years and then he refuses to pay salary. The pure evil is what is so surprising. I did not realize a person like this could be so cruel.
