A Central Bank of Nigeria employee, Mr Monday Osazuwa , on Friday told an Ikeja Special Offences Court how the former apex bank governor, Godwin Emefiele , on different occasions, directed him to collect three million dollars cash in tranches.

The witness said he was later appointed as a senior supervisor in recording and filing of documents while working in the CBN governor’s office in Lagos. “This company is situated at Isolo, the first defendant did send me to collect cheques from the company from Mr Monday and when I collected the cheque from Mr Monday, I would give it back to Emefiele and he would lodge the money into Dumies Oil and Gas.
“The highest amount I collected was one million dollars all in cash and some weeks later, the businessman also called me to collect $850,000, $750,000 and $400,000 cash in tranches. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the EFCC on April 8 arraigned Emefiele on 23 counts bordering on abuse of office, accepting gratifications, corrupt demand, receiving property fraudulently obtained and conferring corrupt advantage. Emefiele’s co-defendant was arraigned on three counts bordering on acceptance of gift by agents.
