THE STATE (1988) 7 SC (Pt. 74) at 93 – 94.
In his defence, DW1 (1st Defendant) stated that the land
was plotted into 15 plots and 3 were sold out to PW2,
PW4 and PW5 in 2008 as agreed with PW6 prior to the
existence of Memorandum Of Understanding i.e
Exhibit “F”.
It is also the evidence of DW1 that all the proceeds of
the said sale of land were invested into the land.
Pictures photograph to show how he compensated some
indigenous people in the land, were tendered by DW1..
The law on documentary evidence is trite.
Indeed, documentary evidence is a hanger to test the
veracity of oral evidence.
