Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: Look at this document and tell the court if it is
the petition?
PW3:
Yes this is the petition.
Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: The witness having identified the petition, we
seek to tender same in evidence.
N.N. Anaka Esq: No objection.
Court:
The petition of the complainant titled breach of trust, criminal
conspiracy and banking fraud is hereby admitted in evidence
and marked as Exhibit EFCC 1 having not been objected by
the defence.
Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: You said a letter was written to Diamond Bank
for the bank statement of PW1 and that a response was
received? If you see the copy of the letter you wrote and their
response, can you identify them?
PW3:
Yes, because the letter was written on an EFCC letter head
paper signed by the Zonal Head, while the response was on
Diamond Bank letter head referring to our request letter and
these are the letters.
Onyeka Ekweazor Esq: The witness having identified the 2 letters, we
seek to tender them in evidence.
N.N. Anaka Esq: We are objecting to the admissibility of the request
letter because the letter is a public document and being a
public document, and a photocopy, it must be certified in line
with the provision of Section 104 of the Evidence Act 2011,
but we are not objecting to the admissibility of the response of
Diamond Bank Plc and the annexure annexed thereunder.
Court:
The Diamond Bank response letter dated 24/4/2018
