How ex-Kaduna Gov, Yero Signed A ‘Collection Form’ To Share From N700m 2015 Presidential Election Loot
More facts have emerged on how a former governor of Kaduna State, Muktar Ramalan Yero allegedly signed a ‘collection form’ to partake in the sharing of N700million loot.
BIGPENNGR.COM reports that the money that was reportedly shared and receipted for by Yero through a ‘collection form’, was provided by former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke to influence the outcome of the 2015 presidential election.
Yero is being prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over his alleged involvement in the ‘sharing’ of N700million.
The witness testified to the effect that, the said sum was paid to the 2nd and 4th defendants in cash, to which they signed a ‘collection form’ individually as evidence of collection.
At the resumed trial on Tuesday, Abimaje, while being led in evidence by counsel to the EFCC, Nasiru Salele, tendered two receipts of cash collected by the defendants.
The admissibility of the documents was strongly objected to by the defence who argued that the documents were not properly certified and that such document ought to be tendered through an officer of the Commission and not through a private witness from the bank.
In response, Salele argued that the documents were properly certified by the bank adding that, the originals of the documents in question were still in the custody of the bank. He urged the court to admit the documents in evidence.
After arguments and counter arguments by counsel, Justice Abubakar adjourned till March 25, 2021 for ruling and continuation of hearing.
