A federal corruption trial has heard testimony revealing how N4 billion earmarked for low-income housing in Abuja was diverted through fictitious contractors, with funds ending up in private accounts linked to senior ministry officials.
A former director testifying as a prosecution witness described in detail how contracts were awarded to companies with no physical presence.
The court heard that physical verification of 47 housing sites found abandoned foundations, empty plots and addresses that did not exist.
The four defendants in the dock deny the charges and their counsel argue the prosecution relies excessively on a self-confessed accomplice.
