confession there are other items of evidence such as the marked currency notes of N50,000.00K found in the sitting room of the Accused which as by evidence he was frantically trying to hide. Indeed as chief Magistrate presiding over cases, he had no business engaging in any transaction ex parte with a litigant, the mere presence of the litigant PW2 in his house releases a state of impropriety and without doubt it is only in furtherance of the endeavour to have fulfilled the demand for the said money. There cannot be any doubt as a public servant who has the power to decide the fate of the litigant had ample opportunity and indeed misuse such power, the facts in his statement are very much consistent with his actions and his confession was indeed voluntary, who else could have known better than him. The impart of what he deposed particularly as there is nothing to show any impairment of rational thinking on the side of the Accused. I am satisfied the exhibit 6, meaning the confessional statement of the Accused is well corroborated by the items of other evidence led by the prosecution in particular the recovery of the marked Naira currency of N50,000.00K by the operatives of the ICPC particularly in the manner the recovery was made as clearly stated herein. 19
