out that he innocently bought the land. PW2 stated that on the 10th November,
2008, AGIS wrote confirming these facts and said that:
1. The documents he had were forged and fake.
2. The original allottee, Sunday Ako Ameh was allocated the plot in 1993 and not
1996 as it appears the allocation given to him.
3. The original allottee had since recertified the documents.
PW2 stated that given the above and since he could not recover his money back, he
petitioned EFCC. He identified the petition as Exhibit P1. EFCC invited him
