Abubakar Aliyu, owner of AA oil, appeared before an Italian court on Wednesday for his role in the scandal.
A principal suspect in the controversial Malabu oil scandal on Wednesday appeared as a witness before an Italian court in Milan.
The transaction was authorised in 2011 by Mr Jonathan through some of his cabinet ministers and the money was payment for OPL 245, one of Nigeria’s richest oil blocks. But as proceedings commenced, Mr Aliyu confirmed that he received the information regarding the charges against him. He was however reminded he could choose not to answer questions as he could incriminate himself in the process.
