yesterday discharged former Minister of State for Defence Senator Musiliu Obanikoro as a witness in the trial of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose.

Under cross examination by counsel for Spotless Limited, Fayose’s co-accused, Mr Olalekan Ojo , Obanikoro said there was no documentary evidence to back up all he said in court.Obanikoro answered: “No.”

After Ojo said he had no further questions for Obanikoro, prosecuting counsel Rotimi Jacobs called the sixth prosecuting witness , Mr Olugboyega Omotayo Falae, a banker. Falae, who now works with Ecobank Nigeria, said he was a staff Skye Bank when the transaction occurred.According to him, the bank occasionally disposes of some properties “that are in excess of its requirements.”Falae said once the bank’s management gave approval, a list of properties was given to agents who would source for buyers.He said the bank got offers, including one from one Mrs Titiloye Orebiyi.

“On April 20, 2015, we wrote an internal memo and a letter of acceptance to the Managing Director of Signature Integrated Ltd accepting their N200million offer and indicating which bank account to pay to,” he said.Fayose is on trial for allegedly receiving and keeping N1.2billion and $5million allegedly stolen from the Office of National Security Adviser contrary to the Money Laundering Act.
