A former Secretary with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr John Ogah on Wednesday told a Lagos Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja how embattled former CBN governor used his niece’s account to receive funds.
Ogah, said this while being led in evidence by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Counsel, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) during the continuation of his evidence in chief.
The witness told the court that he was told by the first defendant, (Emefiele) to instruct the account officer of Zenith Bank Mrs Ifeoma Ogbonnaya to send funds into one Hannah Emefiele’s account.
“Hannah Emefiele is a niece of the first defendant.
“Hannah is one of the beneficiaries of the fund because my boss gives a letter of instructions through mails which I forward to the account officer.
“In one of the mails, he instructed Ogbonnaya to pay into the account of Hannah Emefiele while I was still working with him,” Ogah said.
