A prosecution witness, Mr Michael Wetcast, on Tuesday told the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) sitting in Abuja, that Senate President Bukola Saraki used three different accounts in GTB to launder over two million U.S. dollars
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) witness was led in evidence by EFCC Counsel Rotimi Jacobs (SAN).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Saraki was dragged to the CCT on a 13-count-charge bordering on false assets declaration and money laundering.
The witness said that the accounts were opened with naira, pounds sterling and dollar currencies.
Wetcast said that the commission received petitions from different groups including the Kwara Freedom Network (KFN) which wrote and complained about abuse of office.
He further testified that the petition also centred on misappropriation and money laundering against the defendant, between 2003 and 2011, when he was governor of Kwara.
The EFCC witness said that during investigation, they discovered several companies including TARLISE Properties and Investment Limited, TAIVIEW Properties Limited, LIMKERS Nigeria Limited and TYNITY Limited linked to Saraki.
