The exhibits, spanning documents from July 2024 to March 2026, were tendered by the fourth prosecution witness, Mashelia Arhyel Bata, a Compliance Officer with Zenith Bank. 


The documents detail transactions involving several entities linked to the Malami family, including Rayhaan Hotels Limited and Golden Age Global Ventures.


The EFCC is prosecuting the trio on an amended 16-count charge involving the conspiracy, concealment, and laundering of proceeds from unlawful activities. 


Despite objections from the defense team led by J. B. Daudu (SAN) regarding the dates of the documents, the court admitted Exhibits D1 through D9. The matter has been adjourned to May 13, 2026, for further hearing.
