More perplexing is the fact that the date of the N80Million Draft, made in favour of Dr. Nkumah, from the Bank is the 20th of July 2001. Further still, this Witness could not explain the date of 15th of August 2001 when the Marine Float Limited Draft of N100Million was written, which was received by the Bank on the 22nd of August 2001. Other Stamps affixed on the reverse side of this Cheque were between the 22nd and 24th of August 2001. Not too surprisingly, he could not remember seeing any July date on this Cheque. IfSergeant Victor Dilang’s testimony, was to be believed, it is not too far fetched to hope that as a Police Officer, he ought to have remembered Mr. Adewusi, who brought the Register to him to sign, he also ought to have remembered Dr. Nkumah and if he spent that much time with the “Unnamed Person” attached to him from the Ecological Funds Office, it is conceivable that he would at least remember his Name, since he stated that when they took the Draft to the Bank, they “spent hours together” waiting for the processing of the Cheque. This Witness also could not state for certain that the Signature on Exhibit P14 Page 27, the Movement Register, was his and despite asserting that he signed the Movement Register, he denied the Signature as being his own Signature. By his dates, it is believable that Sergeant Victor Dilang is a Time Traveller, very much like Dr. Who, who travels to the future and uncannily has the ability to time travel to the past. This is because on the 12th of July 2001, he travelled forward through time space to collect the Handwritten Note, than returned to the Present Time, in order to deposit both the Handwritten Note and the Cheque to the AllStates Trust Bank Plc. even though the evidence before the Court, shows that he had to have travelled forward again in time to actually pay in the Cheques as per the Stamps affixed by the Bank, especially as regards the Marine Float Draft. After all said and done, the Testimony of Sergeant Victor Dilangelicited in Chief and under CrossExamination, has invariably served to confirm the following: 1. That it was the Defendant who instructed him to take the Cheque and Handwritten Note to the Bank, where the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque was deposited at the AllStates Trust Bank Plc., Abuja Branch, and from his evidence, if this were so, it is expected that he would go further to state that the Cheque was deposited into the Plateau State Government’s Account. This he did NOT SAY. 2. That he was the Vessel of Distribution of the Drafts made to different Persons from the Proceeds of the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque, meant to resolve Ecological Problems in Plateau State. In his Narration before the Court, he explained that the Two Drafts of N100Million each were for the PDP South-West and PDP North-East. 3. That it was not from the Account of Plateau State Government that the Monies in the Cheque were disbursed from. 4. That the Monies in the Cheque did not enter into the Account of Plateau State Government. Apart from that, Sergeant Victor Dilang had stated that he knew that a lodgment of a Cheque would require a Clearing Process but did not know how many days it took for a Cheque to clear or knew of whether a Cheque must first be cleared before withdrawals could be made. 131
