Two witnesses say Raymond Dokpesi, chairman of DAAR Investment and Holdings limited, spent millions of naira on generators and security doors of his offices.
They said this on Thursday, October 19, at a federal high court, Abuja, after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) called them to testify in the N2.1bn fraud charges levelled against Dokpesi.
The funds were allegedly collected from the office of national security adviser (NSA).
The two witnesses are Peter Imoekor, manager of Mikano International Ltd, Abuja branch, and Fabian Ozoemina, managing director of Gilgal Concepts limited.
