The first prosecution witness (PW1) for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ajayi Michael Folaseye, yesterday told a Federal High Court in Lagos how he rejected a $7,000 bribe allegedly offered by a colleague seeking unauthorised access to the bank’s internal systems.
Ajayi, who works in the Information Technology (IT) department of Premium Trust Bank, testified before Justice Alexander Owoeye in the ongoing trial of Kehinde Odeyemi and Matthew Adeniyi Damilola, both employees of the bank.
They are standing trial alongside three others, Samson Latshin Dakup, Bolaji Omotosho Yinka, and Sunday Badeniyi Okunola on a seven-count charge bordering on conspiracy to steal.
