A witness in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) money laundering case against former Plateau State governor, Joshua Dariye has reportedly said that some of the funds involved were transferred to the account of Marine Float Nigeria Limited, a company allegedly owned by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
The EFCC is accusing Dariye of diverting N1.126bn out of the state’s ecological funds.
The witness, an EFCC detective identified as Musa Sunday, made the disclosure at the opening of the case on Monday, January 25, 2016, before a High Court in Abuja, Punch reports.
“The N100m paid to the PDP South-West was traced to Marine Float Limited. The mandate we received from the bank showed that Marine Float is owned by a former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Efforts at recovering this money have been going on. We did not succeed in recovering it," Sunday said.
The case against Dariye was filed by the EFCC in 2007.  The former governor is currently a senator representing the Plateau Central Senatorial District.
