A key EFCC witness revealed in Abuja court that he transferred $3 million into Mrs. Aisha Achimugu’s company account linked to the ongoing $12 million money laundering trial involving SunTrust Bank’s Managing Director Halima Buba and Executive Director Innocent Mbagwu.
Trinity Usman, a Bureau De Change operator, admitted handling the cash transactions through his oil company account due to a suspended license, but denied prior knowledge of the defendants. The prosecution alleges cash deals bypassed financial institutions, violating the Money Laundering Act. Witnesses testified they never personally met the accused nor exchanged messages with them.
The trial continues with court dates set for December to further examine the evidence.
