Ikuforiji is standing trial alongside his former Personal Assistant, Oyebode Atoyebi, on 54 counts bordering on the alleged offences before the Federal High Court, Lagos.

Olatunji, 70, who identified himself as a retiree and former clerk of the LSHA, was led in evidence by EFCC counsel, Mr Ekene Iheanacho.
The witness identified the former speaker and his personal assistant in the dock.
He recalled receiving two letters from the EFCC; the first concerned the agency’s intention to investigate the HoA’s financial dealings. The second was an invitation to him to appear before the Commission in relation to the investigation.
