PW2 (After affirmation): My name is Nzude Okafor. I don’t have any
work. I live at No. 5 Onubuogo Street, Zik’s Avenue, Enugu,
Enugu State. I know the defendant since my childhood
because we are from the same area with him. Sometimes in
March, 2018, one of my friends that live in the same area
with me in person of Onyekewere Ani told me that the
defendant is looking for me for a cheque business that he
needs First Bank cheque. So I went to the defendants house
with a First Bank cheque belonging to my father and
mother’s joint account. When I went to his house (the
defendant), he told me that he wants to use the cheque to do
a business. That the business will worth N1.2 million and he
will give me 10% of that sum. So I gave him the cheque book.
He then said he will call me anytime the business is done. At
the time I took the cheque book to the defendant, the
defendant was at the Police Detective College, Enugu. After I
gave him the check book, I then went back home. Some few
days later, I called the defendant and asked him whether the
business was successful. He said he will call me when they
are done. He later called me and informed me that the
business has been successful. So I went to his house at the
Police Detective College Enugu because he was staying with
his friends at that time. When I went there, I met his friends
who were about 3 of them and I know one of them in person
of Shedrack and they told me that the defendant said they
should tell me that the defendant is coming with the money.
