A prosecution witness, Abdulrahman Dan-Mallam has given evidence before Justice Mohammed Tukur of a State High Court, sitting in Kaduna, narrating how three oil dealers, Mudashiru Mustapha, Omotoye Martins Adekoya and Shehu Mohammed (now at large), perpetrated a N17million fraud.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is prosecuting the defendants, on a two-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust. They are alleged to have at various times received sums amounting to N17,170,000 (Seventeen Million, One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Naira) for the supply of 127,000litres of Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, but they never supplied the product.
