In 2001, he was not the Account Officer for Ebenezer Retnan Ventures and he did not receive the Cheque from the Defendant nor knew how it was disbursed. From his experience, Exhibit P6, the Cheque payable to Plateau State Government, was Public Funds, which ought to have been paid into the Plateau State Government’s Account and noted that it was not wrong to clear this Cheque through the Bank’s Sundry Account. 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. There was no Re-Examination of this Witness. His further detailed evidence rendered during the Trial would be situated where appropriate in the Court’s Analysis. DW2, Honourable Geoffrey Teme, Former Majority Leader of the Plateau State House of Assembly in 2003, presently works with the Plateau State Government, as a Legislative Liaison Officer. He testified that sometime in 2004, he and Twenty-Three Members of the Plateau State House of Assembly honoured an invitation to the Chambers of the then Deputy Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu, at the National Assembly Abuja, who was of the same Senatorial Zone as the Defendant. At the Meeting, they were told to pass a Vote of No-Confidence on the Governor of Plateau State, Chief Dariye based on the Governor’s inefficiency to perform as expected. Of the Twenty-Four Members present, Senator Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu took Eight Principal Members of the House of Assembly to meet with President Olusegun Obasanjo, where he reiterated his urgings for Dariye’s Impeachment and sought for the President’s assurance on the matter. According to this Witness, the President told them to do as suggested else they face the Government’s wrath. After the Meeting with the President, they returned to the Chambers of the Deputy Senator and informed their Colleagues on the outcome of the Meeting and agreed to deliberate on it. Whilst deciding on what to do, they heard the announcement of the dissolution of the whole Political Party Structure and the Declaration of a State of Emergency, where an Interim Government was formed. This State of Emergency lasted for Six Months, and during that Period, some Members of the House of Assembly approached General Yakubu Gowon, a Past President of Nigeria, and he assured them that he would discuss with President Obasanjo. They were then called upon by the Director General of the State Security Service (SSS) and briefed about a Petition from the EFCC against the Defendant. They were subsequently reinstated and the Petition was forwarded to the House of Assembly through the Speaker. The House, in its deliberations discovered that Certain Papers were missing and the Clerk of the House requested these Papers from the EFCC, which were subsequently forwarded. A Committee was then set up consisting of Nine Members including himself and their purpose was to investigate the Petition, which contained Allegations of Fraud against the Governor Joshua Dariye, Ebenezer Retnan Ventures, Union Homes, PDP South-West and some others in regard to the Ecological Funds of approximately N1.6Billion.
