But I told her to play along with them.\u201d Attah added.<\/p>\n<p>He also told the court that he later met with the two accused persons posing as an elder brother to the man who was being investigated and he was also shown another copy of the purported petition, adding that Ibrahim drove them to the EFCC office in Lagos on a weekend to buttress the authenticity of their claims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him we cannot pay the N5 million they were demanding and asked Eleshin to give them N55, 000 which she had on her,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Attah said while he was away in Osun State a few days later, Eleshin called him complaining that the accused persons were still demanding for more money. This, he said prompted him to call his contacts at the EFCC office in Lagos who later arrested them after Eleshin made a written petition against Ibrahim.<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim\u2019s counsel, E.D. Onyeke during cross-examination disputed Attah\u2019s testimony arguing that it does not corrolate with the account made earlier before the court by Eleshin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
