exhibit 11(a) that the process was wrong for PTA to apply for
land allocation and the allocation letter to come out in another
person’s name that is, PAX Education Resource. Under cross
examination by the learned prosecuting Counsel, I watched
closely the 2nd Defendant as DW6 while responding to
questions. The 2nd Defendant as DW6 testified thus:“I can see exhibit 15. Exhibit 15 is a
replacement and PAX Education is not the first
allottee. I signed the letter of replacement.”
While the cross examination by the prosecution continued, I
was watching closely the demeanour of DW6 especially when
he testified thus:“I can’t remember which plot was allocated to
PAX Education first before the replacement.” He
also stated: - “An Applicant does not apply for
replacement I am not aware of the application
of the first allotment. I have not seen the 1st
application for PAX Education.”
Under cross examination, DW6 further stated:“There is no application form for Pax education in
exhibit 18. I did not see the application form for land
of PAX Education. I picked names of allottees by
instructions from the Honourable Minister. I did not
see the application form for land of PTA Nigeria
Limited for forwarding to the Minister for approval.”
Then when DW6 was asked under cross examination by the
prosecution who gave him the name of PAX Education, he
answered:“I can’t remember who gave me the name of
PAX Education Resources Limited. Anybody can
walk into Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC)
without application form for land and we can
allocate land to the person.”
Further DW6, testified under cross examination thus:“Patrick Pillah was the Secretary, Lands
Committee. Patrick Pillah was also the secretary
