There is evidence before this court that the accused person presented Exhibits A, B, C, G, D, E and F to the bank that is United Bank for Africa Plc on the false pretence that the said Exhibits were made or written, signed and issued by Mohammed Abubakar the account holder or owner, knowing very well that it is not true. In Exhibits H1, K and L the accused person admitted that the writing and signature on Exhibit A, B, C, D, E, G and F were that of Ojeyinka Omotosho (now at large) but not that of Mohammed Abubakar the account owner. The accused further stated in Exhibit H1, K and L that Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, F and G were written and signed by Ojeyinka Omotosho and given to him which he presented to the bank for payment. It is also in evidence that upon the cashing of the money as reflected in Exhibits A, B, C and G shared the proceeds or money with one Ojeyinka Omotosho (now at large). See Exhibits H1, I, K, L and M. Also the evidence of PW3, PW4 and PW5, this evidence was neither discredited nor controverted by the defence. In the light of all stated above, I am of the considered view that the prosecution has proffer credible evidence to convict the accused person on Counts 24, 25, 26 and 27, I so hold. In conclusion, I hold the firm view that the prosecution have failed to discharge the burden placed on it by proving its case beyond reasonable doubt on the following count charges, Counts 2, 3, 4 and 5 (on theft), Counts 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 (on forgery). Accordingly the accused is discharged and acquitted on these counts. 28
