Chile Okoroma Esq: The witness having identified the statement, we seek to tender it in evidence. Prof. Ibrahim Abdullahi SAN: We are objecting to the admissibility of the statement based on the following grounds:(i) The document sought to be tendered does not bear the name of the defendant when compared with the name of the defendant on the charge sheet.
