The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigative officer, Shehu Shuaibu, disclosed to a federal high court in Lagos that N4.6 billion was allegedly transferred to a joint trust account to sponsor the presidential campaign of Goodluck Jonathan.
The officer testified that money was paid from the state house to the ministry of external affairs before it was transferred to the joint account, Channels Television reported.
The EFCC officer made the disclosure when he testified before Justice Daniel Osiagor in the trial of the ex-minister of finance, Senator Nenadi Usman, former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and two others.
When asked if Jonathan was invited during the investigation, the officer said the ex-president was not invited because he was not the one that expended the money.
The witness was also questioned why those who transferred the money into the joint trust account were not arrested and prosecuted.
He said: “To the best of my knowledge, I do not know whether those that transferred money into the Joint Trust Account were charged to court or not. I am not a lawyer, and would not know why they have not been charged before the court.”
