Emefiele’s trail: Ex-SGF, Mustapha, says forged documents used to withdraw $6.2 million from CBN

Mustapha stated this when he appeared as the fourth prosecution witness in the ongoing fraud trial of the immediate-past CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had alleged that on February 8, 2023, Emefiele connived with one Odoh Ocheme, who is now on the run, to obtain six point two million dollars from the CBN, claiming that it was requested by the SGF, Mustapha.

Led in evidence by the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, Mustapha noted that neither the documents came from the president nor his office.

He also denied receiving any amount from the said money.
