An official of a Nigerian anti-corruption agency on Wednesday narrated how Sunday Ehindero, former Inspector General of Police, pocketed the interest on police funds kept in a bank.
Olayinka Adebayo, an Investigating Officer with the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) told the court that N16 million was paid to Mr. Ehindero, as interest from the sum of N557.9 million.
Adebayo, who was cross examined by Ehindero’s counsel, Alex Iziyon, before Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi of an Abuja High Court, also alleged that the money was paid in cash to the former police boss by then Intercontinental Bank.
He also said that when the ICPC invited the accused persons, they could not account for how the money was spent.
Ehindero pleaded not guilty to the six-count criminal charge that was preferred against him by the ICPC.
