EFCC has presented a video evidence in trial of Ex-Head of Service, Oyo-Ita, to dispute coercion claims.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday presented a video recording before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, in a trial-within-trial involving former Head of Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita.

 

The footage, presented by the first prosecution witness, Hamma Adama Bello, aimed to counter Oyo-Ita’s claim that she was coerced into making confessional statements while in EFCC custody.

Led in evidence by EFCC counsel Faruk Abdullahi, Bello submitted the video to demonstrate that the defendant voluntarily and calmly wrote her statements without harassment, intimidation, or duress. The video shows Oyo-Ita seated and writing at the EFCC office.

 

Oyo-Ita, who served as the Head of Service under former President Muhammadu Buhari, is the first defendant in the case. She is being prosecuted alongside her aides, Ugbong Okon Effiok (7th defendant) and Garba Umar (4th defendant), and six companies: Frontline Ace Global Services Limited, Asanaya Projects Limited, Slopes International Limited, U and U Global Services Ltd, Prince Mega Logistics Ltd, and Good Deal Investments.

 

The defendants face an 18-count charge bordering on official corruption, money laundering, criminal diversion, and misappropriation of over ₦3 billion in public funds.

 

Justice Omotosho adjourned the matter to October 14 and 16, 2025, for the continuation of the trial.
