Mamman and seven co-defendants are facing a nine-count charge, including conspiracy, obtaining by false pretence, and intent to defraud, involving the sum of ₦31,070,541,349.64 (Thirty-one billion, seventy million, five hundred forty-one thousand, three hundred forty-nine-naira, sixty-four kobo).
During Wednesday’s proceedings, the second prosecution witness (PW2), Leadu Kpandei, a female compliance officer with Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), testified under the guidance of EFCC counsel A.O. Mohammed.
She stated that in March 2025, the EFCC requested account details for Fullest Utility Concept Ltd, one of its customers.
In response, GTB provided a letter accompanied by the company’s account opening documents, identification certificate, and account statements, all extracted from the bank’s database.
Kpandei confirmed that she and a colleague signed the documents on behalf of the bank before transmitting them to the EFCC.
The documents, marked Exhibit E1, E2, E3, and E4, were formally tendered and admitted into evidence by the court.
Earlier in the proceedings, the first prosecution witness (PW1), Umar Abba, a compliance officer with Zenith Bank, concluded his cross-examination, confirming that he had generated and endorsed the account statements of the defendants from the bank’s database before forwarding them to the EFCC.
“I generated the documents of the account statements from the bank’s computer, compared them with what I have, then I signed before sending them to the EFCC,” he said.
Suleiman Mohammed, counsel to Saleh Mamman, drew the court’s attention to a pending application filed by motion on notice on March 9, 2026. Justice Anineh assured that she would review the application.
The court subsequently adjourned the trial to April 16, May 11, and June 4, 2026, for the continuation of proceedings.
