The fraud trial of Nicholas Mutu Ebomo, former chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, continued before Justice F. Giwa Ogunbanjo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, with the fourth prosecution witness, Adamu Yusuf, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, continuing his examination-in-chief.

Mutu is being prosecuted alongside, Airworld Technologies Ltd and Airworld Technologies Ltd, for allegedly receiving gratification for influencing an NDDC contract for the collection of statutory levies from oil and gas companies in the Niger Delta.

Under cross examination by the defence counsel, E.I Ikwueto and J.O Asoluka, Yusuf affirmed that the investigation established that Mutu used his companies to obtain gratification from Starline Consulting Ltd, which proceeds he used to acquire properties.

“Mutu in an attempt to cover up, contacted Tareb Consultancy Ltd to procure and forge documents and invoices to show that contracts were awarded and payments made to his companies.

“Unfortunately the letterheads, addresses, website and some features on these documents did not correspond with the ones submitted during the forfeiture process and those that reflected the payment process”, the witness said.

Justice Giwa-Ogunbanjo adjourned further hearing until February 2 and 3, 2022.
