A prosecution witness, Goji Mohammed, on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 gave a vivid explanation of how the operatives of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recovered one million dollars during a raid conducted on the house of a former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, who is standing trial along Iyalikam Nigeria Limited on a 10-count charge bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption to the tune of N3.97 billion.

Badeh allegedly abused his office as CDS by using the dollar equivalent of the sum of N1.4billion removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force to purchase properties in choice areas of Abuja between January and December, 2013.

Mohammed, who testified as PW15, told Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja that, he was a member of the Special Task Force, STF, team whose mandate was to investigate cases reported to the Commission from the NSA’s office. Led in evidence by Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, Mohammed said, “I was instructed to conduct a search by the Head of the STF ‘Team B’ on a property belonging to the defendant (Badeh) located at No 2b Nelson Mandela Street, Asokoro Abuja”.
