To his knowledge, the Defendant did not maintain a Domiciliary Account with the Bank, and when he was in Abuja, he had sourced Foreign Currency in Cash in the range of 20, 000 to 40, 000 US Dollars per Transaction for the Defendant. He was aware that the Defendant transferred Funds from Nigeria to the United Kingdom through his Bank and that the Metropolitan Police had sought explanations from the EFCC through his Bank regarding these Transfers. DW3, Honourable Geoffrey Teme, a Former Majority Leader of the Plateau State House of Assembly in 2003, stated in his Examination-in-Chief that a Committee was set up consisting of Nine Members including himself and their purpose was to investigate the Petition, which contained allegations of Fraud against Governor Joshua Dariye, Ebenezer Retnan Ventures, Union Homes, PDP South-West and some others in regard to the Ecological Funds of approximately N1.6Billion. He stated that basically the Ecological Fund was given to fund the 2003 2nd Term Presidential Campaign of President Obasanjo. An Open-Door Policy, wherein members of the Public were allowed to present their complaint was adopted. Officials of the EFCC testified before the Committee and he sought to tender Two Volumes of the Committee’s Report as Exhibits before the Court. After a vehement objection raised by the Prosecution, the Reports were provisionally admitted as Exhibits D6 and D7. Under Cross-Examination, DW2 stated that from Exhibits D6 and D7, the Report did not disclose where the Cheque was lodged. Since the Money was meant for the People of Plateau State, it would be wrong for a Commissioner to pay this Money into his Account and further it would be wrong to pay part of this Money as a bribe to any Officer from the Ecological Office. Likewise, it would be wrong for any Public Official to pay part of the Money into an Individual Account for the purpose of purchasing a Property in London, England. When questioned on the N100 Million paid to PDP South-West, which formed part of the Ecological Fund meant for the Plateau Citizens, he agreed that there was nowhere stated that the PDP should be a beneficiary of this Sum and acknowledged that it was an Abuse of Office that the Sum of N160Million was paid into Ebenezer Retnan Ventures’ Account. DW6, Chief Mai Chibi Vwalji, the then Plateau State Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and now in the All Progressive Congress (APC), during his Examination-in-Chief, was shown Exhibit P13A at Page 10, which is one of the Defendant’s Statements, wherein the Distribution of Money was itemized. He affirmed that PDP Plateau State collected the sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) for 274 Wards. The Chairman of the State Party had earlier attended the National Executive Committee Meeting of the PDP National Level at the Abuja National Secretariat in 2001, where the National Chairman had informed them that PDP Governors should give their State PDP Chapters some Money towards the Party. The Governor of the State, being a Member of his Party’s State Exco, went to the Party’s Secretariat in Plateau State to give them the Sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) for Distribution to the Wards through the Local Government Chairmen. He did not know the Source of the Money distributed, but he knew the Money was distributed to each of the Seventeen (17) Local Governments for the Three Hundred (300) State Wards. Under Cross-Examination, he maintained that it was proper for his Party to have received the Sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) from the Ecological Fund, as his Party was the Party in Power. DW7, Mr. Paul Datugun, a Staff in the Central Cashier of the Ministry of Finance under CrossExamination stated that his Office, the Central Cashier, must make all Payments to Contractors. He 119
