The 2nd Defendant was my senior colleague in the office. The application for processing of title deed plan was in respect of plot in Jikwoyi. The title deed was not processed because when the file was brought to us, we followed due process to find out if the name of the person is on the list and we also checked the cartography Department whether that file has ever been charted.” PW2 testified further as follows:“On checking, I discovered that it was charted in 2005 for Fine Trust Academy and title deed was processed and collected by Fine Trust Academy as at that time.” Then exhibits 5 and 5(a) were received in Evidence through PW2. Exhibit 5 is the application for customary right of occupancy by Fine Trust Academy while exhibit 5(a) was the application for customary right of occupancy by PTA (Nigeria) Limited PW2 testified that by exhibit 5(a), it was PTA Nigeria Limited that applied for the land but when the allocation letter came out, it came out in the name of Pax Education Resources. PW2 when shown exhibit 5(a) especially the last minutes on exhibit 5(a) testified as follows:“The minutes of my colleague showed that the plot has been charted already in favour of MISC 9764. 9764 is the number for Fine Trust Academy.” PW2 was also shown the last page of exhibit 5 and testified as follows:“Exhibit 5, the last page, the title deed was signed by me in 2005. When title deed is signed it gives the person the right to the plot. PW2 further testified “it is not consistent for one person to apply and then the allocation comes out in another person’s name. If application is made the allocation is made in that same name. 34
