Nkechi laughed off the accusations, saying the same people dragging her would still talk if she used a newer model.

She explained that she owns multiple iPhones — including the 16 and 17 — but doesn’t stress about which one she uses at any moment because they’re all simply tools to her.

She added that the phone she used during the call was just one of her backups, and that she has others of different storage capacities

The actress wondered why of all the things she discussed on the podcast, people chose to focus on the phone in her hand.

She ended by begging for peace this month, saying she doesn’t want anyone stressing her as she enters a new week and a new month.

“Of all things in this life, na phone una carry for head? Abeg, it is well,” she said.

The EFCC source stated: ​“We seized his passport, it is the normal routine during investigation, but he has to report at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja every day for the next month.

”He will be reporting for further investigation throughout December.

”He will be reporting every day, starting from Dec. 1st to Dec. 31st. He will appear before the team of investigators for the entire month of December.

”He will be reporting to EFCC for investigation for the period because of the volume of the investigation and the seriousness of the charges against him.”

​The source explained that the daily reporting is necessary due to the volume and complexity of the investigation and the seriousness of the charges against the former Minister.

Investigators are primarily concerned with accountability for the massive repatriated funds. A fact sheet on the former minister indicates that he has multiple issues to clarify.

The source said: “We have asked him to explain the whereabouts of the $490 million Abacha loot secured through MLAT.

“We didn’t say he stole money, but he should account for the loot. This is one of the issues he will clarify to our investigators.”

The commission cited the large volume of documents Malami must review and the need for extensive interviews as reasons for seizing his passport and demanding daily appearances.

The EFCC maintained that it would not engage in a “war of words” but would release its findings after a thorough investigation.

Malami, in a statement issued on Monday by his media aide, Mohammed Doka, in Abuja, confirmed his engagement with the EFCC but described the investigation as a “political witch-hunt.”

He confirmed he honored the EFCC invitation on November 28, describing the engagement as fruitful and expressing confidence that the probe would vindicate him.

Malami described the EFCC’s allegations as baseless, illogical, and devoid of substance, insisting they would collapse under factual scrutiny.

Calling for urgent structural reforms in the nation’s security architecture, Yahaya insisted that the establishment of state police has become one of the most practical and effective measures for tackling the growing insecurity.

According to him, “putting up the state police remains a very critical and effective mechanism to address present security challenges facing the country.”

He argued that centralised policing no longer meets the demands of a region battling banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, farmer-herder conflicts, communal clashes and other violent crimes that have displaced thousands and stifled economic activity.

The Gombe governor linked the escalation of insecurity to a combination of socio-economic and environmental factors.

He identified underdevelopment, illiteracy, weak infrastructure, high unemployment, environmental degradation, and poor resource management as core drivers of the deadly cycle of violence in the North.

Yahaya urged leaders of the region to “make every effort to reverse the trend,” warning that failure to address the root causes would continue to undermine growth and stability.

Governor Yahaya praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as leadership interventions that recently led to the rescue of kidnapped victims in various parts of the North.

He appealed to the Federal Government not to relent until all abducted persons are safely reunited with their families.

He reaffirmed the commitment of Northern governors to work closely with the Federal Government, security agencies and local authorities, saying, “The region remains resolute to collaborate… towards securing lives and property, including school environments.”

Host governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State said Northern governors have been developing regional strategies to promote stability, safeguard communities, and enhance governance.

He noted that a peer-review mechanism was already being implemented among the governors to ensure accountability and improve service delivery.

Sani underscored the vital role of traditional institutions in promoting communal harmony, strengthening early warning systems, and guiding government decisions. He urged emirs and chiefs to “do even more” in mobilising communities against criminality.

Speaking on behalf of the royal fathers, the Sultan of Sokoto and Chairman of the Northern Traditional Rulers Council, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, reaffirmed the commitment of traditional rulers to support the governors in restoring peace across the region.

He stressed that good governance must remain a top priority in the region, urging governors to ensure effective and people-centred service delivery.

Under cross-examination, EFCC counsel, M.K. Bashir, told Justice Rahman Oshodi that the commission could not produce proof for the alleged $800,000 withdrawal.

Pressed by the court to substantiate the claim, Bashir replied: “We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have.”

He further denied holding proof of the alleged 47 bank accounts, adding, “It is one of the witness’s claims, but I do not have such a copy.”

Reacting via his social media handle, Peter described the report as jokes and propaganda.

According to him, there was never a court session in which the EFCC investigator made this claim.

He wrote, “Joke and propaganda. Again, pushing false narratives to the media about a court session that never happened, all to make me look bad? Social media no be judge.”

The petition led to charges being filed against Jude over alleged financial mismanagement of the P-Square brand.

At the resumed cross-examination on Friday, the EFCC counsel, Mohammed Bashir, told Justice Rahman Oshodi that the commission could not tender evidence supporting the alleged $800,000 withdrawal.

He said, “We do not have it. It is his evidence. Let him prove it. I can’t give what I don’t have.”

Jude and his Northside Music Limited company were arraigned on March 4, 2025, on four counts relating to the alleged stealing and conversion of $1 million and £34,000 in royalties from music digital distribution and publishing.

At the arraignment, the EFCC claimed Jude and Northside Music Limited allegedly converted $767,544.15 of payments made by Lex Records Limited for digital music distribution, intending to permanently deprive Peter of his interest. Jude was granted bail of N50m on March 6, 2025.

During the trial, on May 23, 2025, Peter testified that new evidence showed Jude and Paul withdrew and shared over $800,000 between March 2023 and October 2024. Under cross-examination by defence counsel Clement Onwuenwunor (SAN), he revised the timeline to 2013–2014.

Peter also claimed Jude operated 47 bank accounts and held an 80% stake in Northside Entertainment. The EFCC denied possessing records of the accounts.

Bashir said, “I do not have 47 bank accounts. It is one of the witness’s claims, but I do not have such a copy.”

The defence tendered Corporate Affairs Commission records contradicting Peter’s claim of an 80% stake.

Peter further admitted he only became aware of Northside Music in 2024 when artist Cynthia Morgan sent him her contract on the company’s letterhead, though her albums were credited to Northside Inc.

Justice Oshodi adjourned proceedings to December 12, 2025, for continuation of the trial.
