    Diezani Alison MaduekeA Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday, heard that two INEC employees, Christian Nwosu and Yisa Adedoyin, allegedly received N264million from a former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke.

    A prosecution witness, Mr Timothy Olaobaju, said that the money was paid to Nwosu and Adedoyin in cash.

    Olaobaju said this while testifying at the resumed trial of the accused persons, facing charges of corruption and undue enrichment.
