The EFCC on Tuesday, October 11, 2016 presented its sixth prosecution witness, PW6, Air Commodore Mohammed Lawal Sini, in the trial of Air Chief Marshal Alex S. Badeh (rtd) to shed more light on how the sum of N558million Nigerian Air Force funds was converted to personal use while Badeh held sway as Chief of Air Staff. He is facing a 10-count charge bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption.
Badeh is being charged alongside Iyalikam Nigeria Limited before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja, for allegedly abusing his office as Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, by using the dollar equivalent of the sum of N1.4billion (One Billion, Four Hundred Million Naira) removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force to purchase properties in choice areas of Abuja between January and December, 2013. The matter was adjourned to October 12, 2016 for continuation of trial.#
