The trial of ex-governor of Katsina State, Shehu Shema, over alleged laundering of N5.
7bn belonging to the state office of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, continued on Thursday with his counsel faulting the claims that his client paid for unexecuted contracts.
Shema’s lead counsel, Sebastine Hon , had shortly after the court session commenced on Thursday, asked Ingawa to take a look at some documents including those marked Exhibits A, H, I and M, among others. The lead counsel then asked the witness to look at the documents before asking him whether information on the document did not contradict his earlier claims at the EFCC that money was paid for contracts not executed and contracts sums were inflated.
“Also, the two invoices which were attachments to Exhibit A showed contracts sums of N100m and N41m respectively which also showed total execution of the contracts at the exact sum of N141m.“Also, look at Exhibit H, there is no evidence of inflation of contract. I put it to you that due process was followed in the execution of the contracts. Contracts were executed and items delivered to the store of Sure-P based on documents tendered as exhibits.
