Zakariya told me each bag was bought at the rate of N23,000 but now is N13,000 at market price. I tell Mr. Kamiru ‘m’ Zakariya to call hajiya Saratu Ladan Tsamiya and inform her about the recent price if she order him to sell those goods, he should sell. I don’t know whether he call Hajiya or not.” PW1 in her evidence testified to the fact that when the respondent opened up that he sold part of the ginger and sent part of it to Malabil in Benin Republic, she asked the respondent in surprise as to with whose consent he sold the ginger as well as the whereabouts of the money realized from the sale, but that the respondent did not answer her 2 questions. In exposing how he used part of the PW1’s money to buy Zobo without her authorization, the respondent in his extra-judicial statement admitted as exhibit A and A1, sated as follows:“--- I bought Roselle {Zobo} and stored it. But honestly I did not inform Hajiya before I purchased the Zobo even Moh’d was not informed.” Form the foregoing pieces of evidence before the trial court it has become apparent that there is no evidence before the trial court that the respondent was in fact authorized to dispose up the ginger at that lower price when he sold the ginger, and there is also no evidence before the trial court that the respondent was authorized by PW1 to use part of her N8,000,000:00k to by Sobo as did by the respondent.
