Fayose vs EFCC: What happened in court on Monday
The trial judge, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, ruled that the statement was admissible in law.
He said the statement was relevant to the case because Erukaa made it in the course of EFCC’s investigation. “It is not the law that a document which is not tendered through the maker is not admissible,” the SAN said, relying on sections 39 and 83 of the Evidence Act. Fayose is on trial for allegedly receiving and keeping N1.2billion and $5million allegedly stolen from the Office of National Security Adviser contrary to the Money Laundering Act.Under cross-examination yesterday, Obanikoro reiterated that there were no records of the money sent from ONSA.
He said funds paid into the account were for the security of Lagos, and for election purposes in Ekiti and Osun states. Asked if he would be surprised that the ONSA denied paying N2.2billion to Sylvan Mcnamara’s account, Obanikoro said: “I won’t be surprised.”
