Nigerian businessman and former bureau de change (BDC) operator, Ciroma, has identified Buba in court and affirmed that he knows her.
Ciroma, however, stated that he and Mbagwu had never met face-to-face, noting that they only communicated via phone calls.
He presented a series of documents as proof, explaining how the $12 million was paid out at different branches of SunTrust Bank in Abuja and Lagos between March 10 and March 20.
