I was told that the customer would be coming by a flight to Akure Airport,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter some hours, Abiodun Oshode came to my office to inform me that the said customer was in his office. I then followed him to his office where he introduced one, Biodun Agbele, to me as the bank customer. I was later instructed to prepare the cash movement team (bullion van and security) to pick the cash from the Airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the aircraft arrived, three individuals disembarked from it, two of them walked away while the third person walked to Abiodun Agbele. After a short interaction, we were left to offload the cash from the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne Adewale O who introduced himself as the orderly to Senator Obanikoro led us to offload the cash. When we got to the branch, we bundle-counted the cash and it was about N744m.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were told there was a balance and we went back to the airport to pick the second batch from the aircraft into our bullion van. The second tranche was about N494m, making a total of N1.2bn. The money was detail-counted by the Cash and Teller Unit for 10 days before it was credited into three different accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also:\u00a0Fayose Replies Fayemi Over Ekiti Debt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While being cross-examined by Fayose\u2019s lawyer, Ola Olanipekun, Mohammed admitted that he did not see Fayose\u2019s name in any of the documents used to process the payments into Sylva Mcnamara account.<\/p>\n<p>The presiding judge, Chukwujekwu Aneke, then adjourned the matter till Friday, October 25 for continuation.<\/p>\n<p>The EFCC is prosecution the former governor over charges of fraud and money laundering to the tune of N6.9bn.<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ayodele Fayose Sunday Alade, former manager of a Zenith Bank branch in Akure, Ondo state, on Wednesday told a federal high court in Lagos that it took 10 days to count the N1.2 billion which was moved to the bank\u2019s branch on behalf of Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti state.
