took possession of vehicles worth N204 million at the instance of one Olajide Omokore, whose companies executed contracts for the Akwa Ibom State Government.
According to him, the investigations revealed how the Senator received the fleet of cars from Omokore, a close ally to a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. “During the course of that investigation, we started tracing proceeds of crime, which led us through to millions of naira that were transferred by the Strategic Alliance Partners, the Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Limited as well as the Atlantic Energy Brass Development Limited, all companies being promoted by Olajide Jones Omokore who had at various times through his companies, executed various contracts for the Akwa Ibom State Government.
Abubakar, thereafter, sought to tender in evidence, the statement made by Senator Bassey to the witness in the course of investigations. “We object to the admissibility of the said document for the sole reason that it does not constitute part of what the prosecution gave us, and as such is irrelevant,” he said, claiming further that it was not part of the proof of evidence.
