that I should receive them into the Store. I went to the Secretary and told him this: a. I cannot receive these goods whose source I do not know b. There is no documentary evidence on the mode of Purchase On herring this, the Secretary being an experienced Admin Officer directed me to get a Subject File so that we can start at lease from somewhere. (Sic) This Query, its Answer and the Observations made by Mallam Mohammadu Juli, the Chief Stores Officer of the Central Stores Division, a Department under the Ministry of Finance is a Box Loaded with Fireworks and perhaps, in a Fury, he decided to light them up. His fury was because he leaked out Official Information meant to be kept Secret and did not deploy the appropriate channel to express himself. Well! What can the Court say as to the fate of Mallam Mohammadu Juli, a Civil Servant in Employee of Taraba State Government other than to say that the Fireworks he lit, had Different Flashing Colours, seen and heard by not only the Ministry of Finance but by All and Sundry, both in Taraba State and the Whole World. There was an eventual supply of Stationeries and Office Equipment, but CERTAINLY, this Supply DID NOT emanate from Salman Global Ventures Nigeria Limited, the CHOICE Contractor, who received the Sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira (N250, 000, 000) and the whole idea of instructing Mallam Juli to open a Subject File in order to deliberate in a Committee and receive Stationery worth Twenty Million Naira as opposed to the Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira allocated for, and to further ask him to start from this Smaller Amount than was initially provided for, was utterlypreposterous. The Defence, for the purposes of showing that the BulkPurchase for which a Payment Voucher was raised and payment made thereto, had a Check and Balance Mechanism through the Issuance of an Audit Query.DW3, Mr. Aminu 94
