At the resumed trial on Monday at the Federal High Court in Abuja, Fungo who is the fourth witness, said Ndifon forwarded TKJ’s nude videos to another number which ends with 617.
Fungo said, “We observed that the videos received were forwarded to another subscriber. What I mean is that the nude videos sent by TKJ to the professor were sent to another number. That number ends with 617. There was also a video sent by TKJ and another phone was used to record the video while being played on the phone. ”
He said in total, 16 nude videos were extracted from Ndifon’s phone, adding that only three belonged to TKJ.
“A total of 16 nude videos were extracted from his phone among which TKJ sent three, “Fungo said.
The witness told the court that one of the nude videos was sent on September 26, 2023, following a request from the suspended dean.
Fungo added that the WhatsApp chats were done over the internet and showed requests and receipts of nude videos.
Under cross-examination by the defendant’s counsel, Joe Agi, (SAN) he was asked if the nude videos displayed in court were done voluntarily.
Fungo responding said that based on the forensics analysis, the nude videos were not voluntarily sent.
“Based on our analysis, the act of TKJ was involuntarily done,” the analyst said.
Agi demanded that the nude videos be played again for the analyst to confirm whether TKJ was moving her body in the clip but Fungo said there was a movement.
“My lord, there was movement,” he said.
