There is truly no part of the evidence before me suggesting compliance with the agreement between Defendant and the nominal complaint in this case. There is however abundant evidence before suggesting that 1st Defendant in collaboration with other Defendants sold part of the plots in question to people and was paid various sums of monies being consideration.. Qst.. Are Defendants who contrary to the agreement i.e Memorandum Of Understanding sold plots of land which they never had, not guilty of false pretence as charged? From the above, could it be said that the prosecution has proved the offence of false pretence? PW2, PW4 and PW5 gave account as stated above how the 1st Defendant who made representation to them and made them believe that he had authority and power to sell the plots of land.
