The testimony focused on how the funds were said to have been accessed, with the witness explaining that false paperwork was allegedly used to authorise the withdrawal.
The claim forms part of the evidence being presented by the anti graft agency as it seeks to establish how the transaction was carried out.
According to the witness, the withdrawal did not follow proper procedures and raised internal concerns. The EFCC maintains that the documents tied to the transaction were not genuine and were allegedly processed under circumstances that breached financial rules.
The case is one of several legal battles connected to Emefiele’s time at the apex bank. Proceedings are continuing as the court examines the claims, with the former CBN governor facing multiple allegations related to financial dealings while in office.
