It is also clear that the 1st Defendant knew that the land does not belong to him and that Exhibit “F” never empowered him to divide the land into plots and sell same. 1st Defendant issued receipts and letters of allocation and signed them as if 1st Defendant is the original allottee or had Power of Attorney to so do. From the totality of the evidence adduced before me, is it not very clear that 1st and 2nd Defendants merely collected monies from unsuspecting members of the public on the pretext that they were selling what was theirs when they knew full well that the land wasn’t theirs? Without much ado, I am very convinced. From the testimonies of PW1, PW2, PW3, PW4, PW5 and PW6 that 1st Defendant induced PW2, PW4 and PW5 to transfer monies to him under false pretence. He is guilty as charged. Indeed, proof beyond reasonable doubt does not means proof beyond the shadow of a doubt. The law would fail FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND KAYODE GABRIEL ADENIJI & 2ORS 50
