I had at the beginning of this judgment deliberately and in extenso stated the substance of the evidence of the prosecution witnesses. Now on the evidence which is essentially unchallenged as there is nothing on the other side of the aisle or scale of justice, it is not a matter for dispute that the defendant presented himself to one Barrister Fredricks E. Itula, PW2 that he is the owner of plot 1528 Katampe District, Abuja, with File No. or Right of Occupancy No. MFCT/LA/90/BN.912. It is common ground on the evidence that the defendant witnessed and signed a Deed of Assignment admitted in evidence as Exhibit P28 purporting to have transferred and assigned his interest in the said land to PW2 for valuable consideration. It is also in evidence that Mr. Sunday Ameh Ako PW3 whose name is mentioned in Exhibit P28 and who is the genuine owner of plot 1528 said he is not aware of Exhibit P28 as he is seeing it for the first time in court, and that he never made nor signed same. Furthermore that he never commissioned anybody to sell his land. It is similarly not disputed that Exhibit P2 which is the same with Exhibit P17 being the document the defendant gave to the norminal complainant in respect of the said land was intercepted by AGIS and they established that it is a forged document. It is also proven in evidence that Exhibits P3 and P4 being also documents the defendant gave to the PW2 are forged documents.

It is in evidence that when the defendant obtained the sum of N2, 050,000.00 (Two Million and Fifty Thousand Naira) in cash and kind from the nominal complainant PW2, the defendant presented Exhibits P2, P3, P4 and P28 to PW2 as documents in respect of plot 1528 Katampe District, Abuja, claiming same to be his land which he knew is false since on the evidence, he was never allocated the plot by the issuing authority and he never bought same from the lawful allottee, PW3. The unchallenged evidence of PW1, PW2, PW3 and PW4 show conclusively that the disputed plot 1528 was never at anytime allocated to the defendant but PW3 and that the documents of title defendant used as the basis for selling to PW2 were all found not be genuine. The defendant therefore at the time he was making the 12
