Witness Details How Visa Flagged Naira Marley’s Credit Card

Published

on

The 10th prosecution witness in the trial of Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, Dein Whyte, an investigator with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission revealed to Justice Nicholas Oweibo of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday, how Visa, a card payment platform, detected fraudulent transactions linked to one of the credit card details found on the singer’s device.

This was made known in a statement shared by the agency on their Facebook page on Friday.

The witness, Whyte, led by the prosecution counsel, Bilikisu Buhari, said, “As part of the findings from the investigation, forensic analysis revealed that malicious programmes used to illegally obtain credit card information were found on the device recovered from the defendant upon his arrest.” These programmes facilitated card non-present transactions.
The investigator also identified tools on the device that disguised the user’s active location when connected to the internet.

Whyte elaborated, saying, “Tools used to verify the validity, active state, and accuracy of credit card credentials, as well as the region of the issuer of that card, were discovered on the defendant’s device. The analysis further revealed the websites accessed on the defendant’s computer, including sites where credit card information is illegally traded.”

The witness disclosed that both the phone and laptop recovered from Naira Marley were registered with his credentials, name, and email address. Investigations revealed that the singer exchanged credit card details with other individuals. Notably, one card reported fraudulent usage by Visa. Whyte clarified that the card details on the defendant’s device did not belong to him and were not issued by any financial institution.

Under cross-examination by the defendant’s counsel, Olalekan Ojo, SAN, Whyte confirmed that a Visa investigation confirmed the card had been flagged for fraudulent transactions. However, Visa did not directly link the credit card fraud to the defendant’s device, emphasizing that Visa is a payment platform, not a telecommunication company.

Justice Oweibo adjourned the case to March 6 and 7, 2024, for the continuation of the trial.

Naira Marley is facing an 11-count charge, including conspiracy and credit card fraud, brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

In an uploaded video, Maureen explained how unhappy she has become while faking happiness on the outside.

Maureen Esisi claimed to have experienced a great deal over the years, including trauma but maintained a tough front in public until something happened to her recently that completely broke her.

Even though many people expected her to be strong, she admitted that she hasn’t been able to move on from the death of her father.

According to her, she was initially in denial as well, but she is now unable to function due to the severe effects.

She said: “I have literally done this video, 5/6 times, and deleted it because I am clueless of what to say and how to say it or why I am even making this video.

“But something has been pushing me to make this video and let the public know the situation of things and if there is a way they can help me, they will help me.

“If you follow me you will know that I haven’t been posting ad creating content as I used to. I have been very quiet.

“Now over the years, I have faced problems and trauma, and I have been through a lot. And somehow I have always come out strong and pretend like everything is okay.

“Something hit me not so recently and it shattered me to bit. In as much as I was so sure that I had it under control, I didn’t have this under control. I lost my father last year and I have tried to be strong and everybody assumed or thought that I should be. At first, I was in denial but eventually, it hit me and shut me down so badly that I wasn’t functioning anymore.”
