Mr John Adetola, a former Personal Assistant (PA) to Godwin Emefiele, a former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has narrated how he allegedly collected the sum of $400,000 on behalf of his former boss. 

Adetola disclosed this while giving evidence before an Ikeja Special Offences Court on Thursday, Nov. 28, in the ongoing trial of Emefiele over alleged abuse and $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion fraud, while in office.

The former CBN Governor is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alongside his co-defendant, Henry Omoile, who is facing three-count charge bordering on unlawful acceptance of gifts by agents. 
 At the resumed hearing, Adetola, through his counsel, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), told the court that he managed office correspondences and visitors of the Emefiele in Lagos. 

Adetola recalled how he received an invite from EFCC in Feb. 2023 and was interviewed on his relationship with Emefiele.

He said, “I made a voluntary statement at EFCC office. 

“In 2018, Mr Eric Odoh, the personal assistant to the governor in Abuja, sent a message to me that I should go and meet Mr John Ayoh, the former director of ICT department to collect $400,000 and give it to the governor. 

“I went to Mr Ayoh’s house in Lekki and he gave me the envelope. 

“I came back to the office and gave the envelope to the governor.” 

Adetola further told the court that he informed EFCC about the money during his interrogation. 
 The witness, also confirmed that he communicated with Emefiele through telephone, email, office line and verbal communication whenever he was around. 

He also confirmed to the court that he knew one George and Okanta who were Emefiele’s younger brothers and the governor’s wife, Margaret, by virtue of his relationship with his boss. 

Adetola also confirmed to the court that Omoile (Emefiele’s co-defendant) lived in Emefiele’s house in Lagos. 
The witness also identified bundles of documents which were official communication between him and the ex-governor.
