roles they played in the investigation of the case. But PW5 is Mrs Chinyere Izunobi Catherine. She told the court that the accused person came to her house around 8:00pm on the 15/11/2007 and he asked her to help him out. He told her he work with FCDA. He said he wants her to sign a document saying that she bided for a house at Kubwa. She refused to sign, because she did not bid for a house at Kubwa. A day or two later she got a call from ICPC inviting her to their office regarding the accused. At the ICPC they told her that the accused wanted to sell a house in her name. And if she has any thing to do with him. She told them she didn’t. She was asked to write a statement which she did. She said they bided for a house at Kado with her husband but they were told that somebody bided higher. They did not get the house, they were offered another house at Kubwa, which they rejected. They asked for the refund of the draft but they were told that they cannot get it immediately so they had to stop the draft. During cross-examination PW5 said one Mr. Muktar informed them that they did not win the bid. She said she did not submit the bid herself. She instructed Muktar to do the bid for her. Muktar told her that they did not win the bid and they were offered an alternative at Kubwa. She said she do not know if Muktar did not do the bid himself. She said Muktar is a friend of her husband she did not agree to give Muktar commission. The negotiation was done between Muktar and her husband. She did not know how Muktar went about the bid. She gave Muktar the draft and he went ahead to do the bid on her behalf. It is settled principle of law that the prosecution has the burden of proving its case beyond reasonable doubt, and where there is any 10ta of doubt it must be resolved in favour of the accused. In the instant case in all the three court charge it is stated that the defendant solicited for the sum of N560,000 from Mrs. Ajadi as gratification before she can collect her offer letter in respect of block 13 flat 2 6
