this Sum belonging to Plateau State Government, a State of over Three Million People, was given to one individual. As regards, the payments of N100, 000, 000 each paid to the Minister of Special Duties and the then Vice- President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he was hearing about it for first time in the Court and he considered it pitiable that the total sum of N280 Million (N280, 000, 000) was shared from the Award Sum by Three (3) Individuals. He also stated that he received no payments and had performed his official duties diligently. There was no Re-Examination of this Witness. PW3, Mr. Bamanga Bello, a Public Servant working with the EFCC, then as an Investigator and presently the Head of Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering, gave sworn testimony to the effect that he was part of the Investigating Team in 2004 and the focus of his investigation was in regard to the Account Opening Documentation of Ebenezer Retnan Ventures. He gave a historical account of his Personal experience in the Banking Sector, where he had worked in the Banking Industry for over Ten Years and was actively involved in virtually every Department of the Bank including: Credit and Marketing; Opening of Accounts; Customer Service and was the Money Laundering Compliance Officer in the Branch. All these were while he worked with Habib Nigeria Bank Limited from 1993 to 2001, till when he left as Assistant Manager. Thereafter, he became the Branch Manager at the Standard Trust Bank, both at Yola and the National Assembly Branch Abuja. Under Cross-Examination by the Defence, PW3 stated that he joined the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2003 and was co-opted into investigations dealing with Document Analysis and Banking Transactions. As regards the Issues in this Trial, when questioned specifically whether there was any Cheque, particularly the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque raised in the Name of the Plateau State Government that was paid into Ebenezer Retnan Ventures’ Account, he could not accurately remember because the investigation was over Ten Years ago. Finally, he also stated that he did not investigate the sum of N250 Million paid to Pinnacle Communications Limited and could not remember if there were other Documents emanating from the Defendant regarding the Clearance of the Above Sum. According to him, there was nowhere in the Handwritten Instruction where the Defendant had stated that the Cheque should be cleared into the Account of Ebenezer Retnan Ventures. PW4, Mrs. Mobolanle Folaranmi, a Public Servant and Assistant Director with the Claims Resolution Department of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, (hereinafter referred to as NDIC) gave sworn testimony that her schedule of duties included attending to claims from the Depositors of Closed Insured Financial Institutions in Nigeria and these Closed Financial Institutions are Banks that have their License revoked by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The NDIC was made a Liquidator of the Banks in 1994 and in 1998. The core essence of her testimony was to tender into evidence the Statement of Account with AllStates Trust Bank Plc. requested by the EFCC. As AllStates Trust Bank Plc.’s Liquidator, they had in their Custody the Bank’s Computer Server from which all the Entries contained in the Statement of Account were printed and a Certificate of Identification was issued.
