request, I took the cheque leaf to the bank as he requested. After I submitted the cheque, I left the bank but I did not go back to Uwa, although I called him via phone call and informed him that I have submitted the cheque leaf. S.E. King Esq: When you submitted the cheque leaf to the bank were you paid any cash? DW1: No, but when informed him that I have submitted the cheque leaf, he said he will call me later. A week later, Uwa called me and we met at one boutique at Enugu and gave me the sum of N2.1 million and instructed me to give Nzube Okafor N100,000 out of the N2.1 million.

He now asked me whether I have done anything with the cheque, and I said no, that I only submitted the cheque as requested. After that call, he never called me again until in 2020 and informed me that he has solved the cheque problem. I later met with him many times. On the 24/2/2020 Nzube Okafor called me and we met at the beer parlour in Enugu and we started our normal discussions before I was arrested by the EFCC operatives. S.E.

I made a statement and I said that I don’t know anything about it. I narrated to EFCC that I don’t know anything about the $50,000. They then informed me that the cheque I submitted to the bank was used in defrauding people’s money. That was when I came to know that the cheque was used to do the fraud.
