The Nation Newspaper How I collected $3m for Emefiele, by CBN employee
Godwin Emefiele on different occasions used his former dispatch rider, who later became a member of the apex bank’s staff, to collect $3 million cash in tranches.
The witness said he was appointed a full-time employee in the position of senior supervisor in recording and filing of documents while working in the CBN Governor’s office in Lagos. According to him, Emefiele’s co-defendant, Isioma-Omoile, lived in the residence of the former CBN governor. “I have never been rewarded, paid or given anything, because I am doing it out of faithfulness, and he knows it but he never for once said ‘take this’.”
He, however, told the court when he was made to confront the second defendant during investigation but that the 2nd defendant failed to admit it.“I cannot calculate the exact year I have been collecting the cheques, but it all started when the first defendant was the MD at Zenith Bank and I was working at Zenith Bank,” he said.
