The N6.3 billion alleged fraud trial of the erstwhile governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, continued on Thursday at the High Court of Plateau State, in Jos, the state capital, before Justice Daniel Longi with the prosecution witness stating that the second defendant, Yusuf Pam, a former cashier in Plateau State Government House, indicted Mr Jang for corruption by his own free will.
Mr Pam’s claim, however, followed intense cross-examination by the lead counsel to the prosecution, Rotimi Jacobs, at the last sitting. Upon his cross-examination by the prosecution counsel, Adebisi Adeyemi, Mr Oluwayemi narrated how the ICPC received a petition, alleging fraudulent practices, mismanagement and diversion of funds by the Plateau State government under Jang, which he said, was investigated by his team, headed by Fatima Mohammed, now an ex-staff of ICPC. In the course of investigation, Mr Oluwayemi revealed that letters were forwarded to various agencies of the Plateau State government.
Stating the prosecution’s account of what transpired, the prosecution witness stated that: “In November 17, 2016, Pam was invited and he came to our office, and was later led to the interview room. We explained to him why he was under investigation”.
