Ex-HoS, Oyo-Ita, Indicted By EFCC As Witness Presents Video Evidence Against Her In ‘N30bn Fraud’
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Monday presented a witness before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, in the trial-within-trial involving the former Head of Service, Winifred Oyo-Ita.
The first prosecution witness, PW1, Hamma Adama Bello, presented a video evidence showing Oyo-Ita calmly writing her confessional statements at the office of the EFCC.
The witness, while being led in evidence by prosecution counsel, Faruk Abdullahi, tendered the video recording to establish that Oyo-Ita was neither coerced, harassed, nor threatened while making her statements—contrary to her claims that she was placed under duress at the Commission’s office.
Oyo-Ita, who is the first defendant, is standing trial alongside her special assistants, Ugbong Okon Effiok (seventh defendant) and Garba Umar (fourth defendant), as well as six companies—FRONTLINE ACE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITED, ASANAYA PROJECTS LIMITED, SLOPES INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, U AND U GLOBAL SERVICES LTD, PRINCE MEGA LOGISTICS LTD, and GOOD DEAL INVESTMENTS—on an 18-count charge bordering on misappropriation of funds, official corruption, money laundering, and criminal diversion of funds totaling over ?3 billion.
Justice Omotosho adjourned the case to October 14 and 16, 2025, for the continuation of the trial.
