Lawal, who was led in evidence by the Kwara State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Salman Jawondo, informed the court that the bank’s CCTV footages captured the image of Abdulrahman who is the 6th defendant in the case.
He said the deceased’s money was siphoned through Kuda Microfinance Bank with the use of O-pay application, saying the total amount withdrawn from Blessing’s account was N50,000 with the bank charges.
Lawal, the 9th witness in the case was cross-examined by the legal representatives of the 1st, 6th and 8th defendants while another witness, Femi Babalola, an Inspector of Police at the Department of State Security, was ushered into the prosecution box.
The deceased, who would have turned 24 this month, was found dead in her home on 2nd June this year. Her mouth was found gagged with clothes, her hands tied to the back, bruises found on her private part and a piece of paper on her chest containing a message: ‘Unilorin doesn’t forgive’ at the time her lifeless body was found.
