Justice Mohammed Aikawa will rule on a preliminary objection challenging the admissibility of the statements allegedly made to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which is prosecuting the defendants.
He said when the first and third defendants were invited, he showed them Exhibit 8 which is a bank account statement of the fourth defendant which they identified. According to the witness, the second defendant admitted receiving money from Joint trust and also volunteered statements to the EFCC. Citing relevant provisions of the Evidence Act, Orbih told the court that the statement of the first defendant was made under duress and in her absence, while she was receiving medical attention.
For the second defendant, Oyedepo argued that his statement was taken in the presence of his lawyer, Mr Olumayowa Owolabi, who he said, confirmed that the statement was voluntary. In counts one to seven, it accused the defendants of unlawfully retaining over N3.8 billion which formed part of the proceeds of stealing and corruption.
