Dr. Muiz Banire has broken his silence over the allegation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he transferred about N500,000 to Justice Terseer Agbadu-Fishim of the National Industrial Court as bribe: “I have no official relationship with the said judge. I have never appeared before him in any matter and in fact, in my entire professional career, I have only recently a month ago appeared at the industrial court before a separate judge.”
“He was an old friend in the 90s, who only called me up some years back to seek financial assistance due to his mother’s death. Beyond that, I have not seen him in the last 17 years.”
