them by the EFCC. The conclusion on Appendix A at page 3 of the report reads as follows: “Remarks: I hereby confirm that the original of the certificate of occupancy presented personally for verification registered as No. 77 at page 77 in volume 73 at the Federal Lands Registry Office, Ikoyi – Lagos issued in favour of Mrs. Mary Okoh (Appendix A) is AUTHENTIC and it is an exact Counterpart copy lodged at the Federal Lands Registry office, Ikoyi, Lagos.” The conclusion on Appendix B in the report is at pages 4 to 5 of Exhibit 1. It reads thus: “Remarks: In view of my observations in the document marked Appendix B, I hereby state that the certificate of occupancy No. 77 at page 77 in volume 73 alleged to have been registered at the Federal Lands Registry, Ikoyi, and marked “Appendix B” is NOT AUTHENTIC. It is also not the exact counterpart copy lodged at the Federal Lands Registry office, Ikoyi, Lagos.” Appendix A and Appendix B are attached to Exhibit 1. In the report Exhibit 1, the Director of Legal Services who signed the report gave a detailed analysis of the investigation carried out on the documents before the conclusion on the authenticity was reached. The two documents were compared with the counterpart copy in the custody of the Ministry before the conclusion. This is evident from the report. P.W.3 identified Appendix A to Exhibit 1 as the certificate of occupancy given to Lead British International School at the time the school purchased the Land and Appendix B as that given to Okon Amasi by the defendant when he had a transaction over land with her. 19
