Hassan Saidu, prosecution witness of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , has told the Federal High Court in Abuja, how Doyin Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan, engaged in financial transactions without vouchers.

He explained that the EFCC received a petition, which among other things, revealed that various sums of money running into millions of Naira were transferred to Okupe, his company and one other company, Abrahams Telecoms, by the former Director of Finance and Administration in the Office of the National Security Adviser .

"Okupe received cash payment of N50million through a voucher No 1526, which he said was for the take-off of his office ," Saidu said, adding that Okupe claimed he first received the sum of N6million, through a voucher tagged, 'Special Services'. Saidu told the court that when the investigative team requested for vouchers of expenditures on payment of staff, uptake of the office and payment of a programme on NTA programme, ‘The Insight’, Okupe could not provide any payment slip of the staff and could not give vouchers for the expenditure in the office.

Investigations, according to Saidu, revealed that Okupe was the Director of Value Trust Investment Limited, and he was not listed among the directors of Abraham Telecoms, but"he is a sole signatory to the account".
