saw that a total debit of over N2 Million from both accounts, showing that the
amount Mr Dozie alleged to have given to Bala Tangalu was around that amount.
He said that they also ascertained that all the monies paid by Mr Dozie to Bala
Tangalu were via cash and not transfers. PW3 told the Court that all efforts they
made to get the other syndicate members proved abortive, as they never knew
each other’s location but only had a meeting point around Karimu side.
PW3 also testified that when he interviewed the Defendant, he cautioned him
after which he wrote his statement voluntarily. He added that the Defendant
made two statements and that he was the one who cautioned the Defendant in
an open office in the presence of his team members. He stated that he cautioned
the Defendant for the first statement , while for his second statement, he was
cautioned by Aminu Jabi, who had been on transfer to Akwa Ibom State. He
added that the Defendant was cautioned by Aminu Jabi in his presence, after
which the Defendant volunteered his statement.
PW3 stated that he wrote to GTBank and Eco Bank to authenticate the
Statements made by the Complainant that he withdrew monies from his
accounts and also borrowed from a friend to pay same to Bala Tangalu. PW3 then
identified the two statements obtained from the Defendant at EFCC which were
admitted in evidence as Exhibits PW3A and PW3B. PW3 then went on to analyse
the two statements of account (Exhibits PW3C and PW3D) and the various
withdrawals made therefrom by Mr. Dozie (PW1). PW3 added that during
investigations the Defendant confessed that they were into 419 business and that
he was a dismissed staff of PHCN and he got into this after he lost his job.
