The prosecution tendered the subpoena used to summon Adeyanju to court, and it was admitted in evidence and marked as Exhibit G.
The court also viewed the television interview involving El-Rufai, after which Adeyanju confirmed the recording and the statements allegedly made during the programme.
The prosecution further tendered Adeyanju’s own interview contained on a flash drive, alongside a certificate of compliance.
Both documents were admitted in evidence as Exhibits H and H1.
While giving evidence, Adeyanju told the court that he was later invited by the Department of State Services, where he was asked to recount what happened at the television studio.
According to him, he confirmed to investigators that he was present when El-Rufai made the statements on air.
He added that when El-Rufai was further questioned during the interview, the former governor allegedly said someone carried out the phone tapping and passed the information to him.
Under cross-examination by defence counsel, Paul Erokoro, Adeyanju said he did not hear El-Rufai specifically say he hacked the phone lines of the NSA.
However, he insisted that he heard the former governor say, “we listened to the conversation of the NSA”.
When asked whether he knew the means through which the NSA makes calls, and whether he would be surprised to learn that DSS investigators did not ask the NSA which of his devices was allegedly compromised, Adeyanju replied that those were not his business.
Meanwhile, the prosecution tendered an official gazette before the court without objection from the defence.
The document was admitted and marked as Exhibit I.
The matter was adjourned until June 23 for the continuation of the trial.
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
