explanation from the Ministry. The Ministry confirmed to him that the two documents refer to the same property. He said the defendant told him that after she sold the land to Lead British School she laid a complaint at the Ministry that she misplaced her C of O consequent upon which she was issued another certificate of occupancy. Upon inquiry from the Ministry he said he was told that where a loss of C of O is reported what is issued is a CTC and not another original copy. P.W.3 said from his investigation he came to the conclusion that the defendant obtained the petitioner’s money by false pretence.

P.W.3’s further testimony is that EFCC invited the petitioner Okon Amasi who adopted his petition in writing and wrote a statement. He tendered the statement of Okon Amasi which was admitted in evidence as Exhibit 9. He said Okon Amasi underwent a major surgery and is presently bedridden. The defendant testified on her own behalf. Her testimony is as follows: “I am Mrs. Mary Okoh. I am a business woman. I am standing trial for forgery and obtaining money by false pretences. Sometimes ago I had a job to do. I cannot remember the date and year. I was looking for a financier for the job. I met a friend by name Barrister Onuchie whom I discussed my predicament with. He told me he had a friend with a finance company who he could introduce me to. The friend’s name is Mr. Amasi. I agreed with Barrister Onuchie that I would pay him 10% of whatever loan I get. We met Amasi. His company name is Mutual Loan and Savings Ltd. 7
