(N160, 000, 000), into the Ebenezer Retnans Account. Unfortunately for the Defendant, even with the use of the AllStates Trust Bank Plc. Sundry Account, the Origin of this Sum was still referred in Exhibit P15Cto be from the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque. How about that!!! According to the Defendant, during his interview with Detective Musa Sunday, he admitted being the Maker of the Handwritten Instruction when he was confronted with it, and had volunteered Statements, wherein he explained the Distribution of the Sum of the One Billion, One Hundred and Sixty-One Million, One Hundred and Sixty-Two Thousand, Nine Hundred Naira (N1, 161, 162, 900) Ecological Funds. From the testimonies of DW15,Sergeant Victor Dilang and DW6, Chief Mai Chibi Vwalji, the then Plateau State Deputy Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), put forward by the Defence, the fact that the Defendant did not personally gain from the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque in his own Personal Name is evident. Further, the Defendant, in his Extra-Judicial Statement to the EFCC dated the 12th of June 2007 admitted as Exhibit P13A, had also demonstrated this fact of not personally deriving benefit or gain from the Funds in the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque. This was further buttressed from the gesticulations or line of questioning made by the Erstwhile Defence Silk, G.S. Pwul SAN to PW1, Detective Musa Sunday, wherein he suggested that there were Pre-Conditions given to the Defendant to secure the Release of the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque. These suggested preconditions were, the Payment of the Sum of Hundred Million Naira (N100, 000, 000) was for PDP South-West for the benefit of President Olusegun Obasanjo but who returned it; the Sum of another N100Million paid to Marine Float Limited; the Sum of Ten Million Naira (N10, 000, 000) for the benefit of Deputy Senate President Mantu; and the Sum of either Six Million, Eight Hundred Thousand (N6, 800, 000) or Sixty-Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) for the benefit of 274 PDP Wards. In response, Detective Musa Sunday stated that the Defendant did not disclose these as Conditions to him. Now, these Conditions referred to by the Erstwhile Defence Silk, are not before the Court, nor are the Conditions contained in the Payment Voucher in Exhibit P14. Detective Musa Sunday had stated that Chief Joshua Dariye did not mention there were Conditions at the time he made his Extra-Judicial Statement to the EFCC. Therefore, if at all there were Conditions, the Erstwhile Senior Counsel representing the Defence Silk, G.S. Pwul, needed to have entered the Witness Box to testify as to these Conditions or better still, the Defendant, to whom the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque was released, to testify on those Conditions Precedent.The burden as an asserter of this fact was laid on him to testify as tothe heavily impressed Conditionsplaced on him, by the Individuals named during the CrossExamination. Further, G.S. Pwul SAN sought to show that all the Disbursements of all the Sums of Monies in the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque, if summed up together, overshot the Funds in the Cheque by the Defendant, as the Sums did not add up. This fact is, if true, was then an open invitation to both the Defendant and his Senior Counsel to enter into the Witness Box and do the Maths, and since the Defendant did not enter the Witness Box, Defence Silk, G.S. Pwul SAN, could have done so in his stead. Apart from the above, from the Testimony of DW6, Chief Mai Chibi Vwalji, when shown the ExtraJudicial Statement of the Defendant in Exhibit P13A at Page 10, he affirmed that the PDP Plateau State collected the Sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) for 274 Wards. According to him, the National Chairman of the PDP through the Chairman of the State Chapter of the Party had informed them that PDP Governors would give their State some Money towards the Party.
