A dispatch rider, Monday Osazuwa, has tendered another evidence before a Lagos High court sitting in Ikeja that the former Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, asked him not to keep any record of the monies he allegedly collected on Emefiele’s behalf.
Osazuwa, who is the first prosecution witness in the trial of Emefiele, took the witness box again on Monday amid an application granted by Justice Rahman Oshodi for his recall.
DAILY POST recalls that Emefiele is standing trial over alleged abuse of office and money laundering to the tune of $4.5bn and N2.8bn.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Monday, Osazuwa, who was cross-examined by Emefiele’s counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, testified that Emefiele did talk to him directly a few times during which he asked him not to write anything down in respect of any money he received or delivered.
Osazuwa also acknowledged that he didn’t have any document from either Emefiele or his co-accused, Henry Omoile acknowledging the receipt of such monies.
The witness also admitted that there was no witness when he handed over such money to Emefiele.
Before his testimony, the fifth prosecution witness, a business relationship manager with Zenith Bank Plc, Mrs. Ifeoma Ogbonnaya, in conclusion of her testimony, reiterated that there was communication between her and Mrs Margaret Emefiele in respect of the account of three companies.
She also confirmed that in all the documents available to her as the representative of Zenith Bank, there was nothing connecting Emefiele to the transactions, nor was there any dealings with the second defendant, Henry Omoile.
Justice Oshodi adjourned till Wednesday Oct 30th for continuation of his trial.

I’ll stop import duties, tackle insecurity if I were Nigeria’s president – Aisha Yesufu
Aisha Yesufu, a frontline rights activist, on Thursday said she would stop import duties on goods if she were Nigeria’s president.
Yesufu said she would make goods cheap, tackle insecurity, and revamp tourism.
In an X post, Yesufu said she would have worked extensively on infrastructure and cheap capital to attract industries to set up shops in Nigeria and produce there.
She wrote: “If I was the President of Nigeria, I will propose that we do away with import duties on all goods. Ensure that goods coming into Nigeria are extremely cheap, then focus on making the default place to come for cheap goods by all other African countries and also other continents.
“Tackle insecurity and revamp tourism. People coming to buy goods will use transportation and stay in hotels. Then extensively work on infrastructure and cheap capital to attract those industries to even come set up shops in Nigeria and produce here.
“Massive training of skilled workers for different jobs. I want Apple to have the skilled workers and infrastructure for them to come make their products here for the African market and the rest of the world.
“I will focus on primary and secondary school education and training for the 21st-century jobs instead of certificates. Yes, I am that crazy. #OneOfMyCrazyIdeasForNigeria.”
