Dikki, alongside his company, Kebna Studio and Communications Limited, is facing prosecution by the EFCC before Justice Yusuf Halilu on a four-count charge related to bribery and abuse of office. The charges stem from accusations that he received a N1 billion bribe from Bestworth Insurance Brokers for facilitating the approval of outstanding insurance premiums and claims of deceased and incapacitated staff of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).

According to Dikki's testimony, the ordeal began on August 29, 2016, when he was informed by an EFCC operative that the commission had been searching for him and had even arrested his wife and son. Despite not receiving any prior invitations from the anti-graft agency, he voluntarily agreed to appear at the EFCC office on September 1, 2016.

Upon arrival, Dikki was taken to the team leader, identified as Bashir, who allegedly informed him that the investigation was concluded. Bashir, as recounted by Dikki, insisted that the only statement he should make was a commitment to refund the N1 billion into the account of Kebna Studio. Dikki, however, expressed his reluctance to make such a commitment.

"I told him that I cannot make such a commitment, and he said I was wasting their time," Dikki told the court. Despite his objections, Dikki claimed the operatives persisted, eventually leading to his detention in the commission's cell from 6 pm to 7:40 pm.

Crucially, Dikki asserted that during the entire process of making statements, he was neither accompanied by his lawyer, Ali Suberu, nor advised to seek legal counsel. On September 4, 2016, Dikki alleged that Bashir returned to the cell and asserted that he was detaining himself by not committing to a refund, suggesting that his release hinged on this commitment.

The unfolding court proceedings shed light on the intricacies of the case, raising questions about the methods employed by the EFCC during the investigation. As the trial continues, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact the proceedings and the overall outcome of the case.
