The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, testified that neither he nor former President Muhammadu Buhari authorized the disbursement of $6.2 million to international election observers.
Mustapha revealed that both his signature and that of Buhari were forged by those who withdrew the funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria on February 8, 2023. He denied any involvement or knowledge of the transaction and questioned the authenticity of the document.
The ongoing trial involves the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, who faces charges related to the alleged disbursement.
