A Zenith Bank Plc staff, Eucharia Ezeodi, and a director with the federal civil service, Felix Nweke, on Friday, testified against former acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF), Anamekwe Nnabuoku, in his trial for alleged N1.96 billion fraud.
They gave their testimonies before Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court in Abuja, while being led in evidence by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) counsel, Ekele Iheanacho (SAN).
Nnabuoku was granted bail in the sum of N500 million with two sureties in the like sum after he was arraigned on a nine-count amended charge on January 15.
The EFCC had in the charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/240/2024 alleged that Nnabuoku and others conspired to divert the funds.
Other defendants are Temeeo Synergy Concept Limited (at large), Turge Global Investment Limited (at large), Laptev Bridge Limited, and Arafura Transnational Afro Limited (at large).
The funds were said to be proceeds of unlawful activities.
Ezeodi in her evidence admitted she met the defendant while he was a director in the Federal Ministry of Defence.
She said: “I am a banker with Zenith Bank. My office is at Ralph Shodeinde Street, Central Business District in Abuja.
“I have worked for 15 years. I am a marketer in the bank. My duty is to generate business, bring new customers to the bank, etc.”
“I know him through Mr. Felix Nweke in 2019.”
