A glance at the offer letter given by 1st Defendant who gave evidence as DW1 to PW2, PW4 and PW5 shows contrary. The offer letter given to PW2, PW4 and PW5 were all given in 2011 contrary to DW1 assertion that they were given in 2008. I have equally seen Exhibits “D1” – “D6” tendered by DW1 which tend to suggest that 1st Defendant paid money to some Gbagi indigenes who were occupying the said plot of land. But failed woefully to called at least one witness to corroborate his assertion as proper foundation was not laid to show that the picture was taken on the subject matter. Qst.. Where are they said indigenes? Why were they not called to testify to that effect? Are they death or alive? Anybody could have posed anywhere for pictures to be taken and used in court. I however must absence that in tendering such picture photograph(s) the evidence of one or two of them allegedly paid the compensation who appeared in the picture photograph becomes FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND KAYODE GABRIEL ADENIJI & 2ORS 41
