Money Laundering Bombshell: Dasuki’s ₦1.2 Billion Cash Payment To Fayose Exposed In Court!

Money Laundering Bombshell: Dasuki’s ₦1.2 Billion Cash Payment To Fayose Exposed In Court!A former investigative officer of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abubakar Madaki, has testified in a Lagos Federal High Court that the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, paid ex-Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose ₦1.2 billion in cash. According to Madaki, the cash payment was intended to disguise the source of the funds and prevent any traceability.

Madaki revealed this information to Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke on Monday, stating that the discovery was made during an EFCC investigation. The EFCC has charged Fayose and his company, Spotless Investment Limited, with an 11-count indictment for criminal breach of trust, theft, and the embezzlement of public funds.

The anti-graft agency alleges that Fayose and Abiodun Agbele, who is also on trial for alleged money laundering before another division of the court, received ₦1.219 billion on June 17, 2014, to finance Fayose’s 2014 governorship campaign in Ekiti State.

During the latest hearing, Madaki, the 13th prosecution witness, testified that Fayose did not personally conduct any financial transactions relevant to the charges. Under cross-examination by the second defense counsel, Olalekan Ojo (SAN), Madaki was asked to review exhibit D12 and confirm whether any transactions related to the charges were personally conducted by Fayose. Madaki responded, “There is none.”

The judge has adjourned the trial until July 19.
