"".'she made this complaint because she though
I was just making
excuses but whereas I am really sick and still recovering and that's why I
have not been able to give the reconciliation of account,,.
As can clearly be seen, there was no mention of the Defendant stating
that
she prepared an audit reconciliation which was rejected by pw1.
so, this court is
satisfied that there was no audit reconciliation made by the Defendant
before this
case was reported to the police by PW1. Furthermore, the request
which DW2,
the father of DW1 said he made for an external auditor was rejected
according to
DW2 by PW1 also falls flat on the face. lt should be recognized that
DW2 did not
make a statement to the police. And, from his evidence, he knows
absolutely
nothing about the working relationship between PW1 and DW1, the
Defendant.
so, this court shall not accept that testimony from DW2 on that score.
Also, the Defendant claimed that she was ill, hence, she could not
do the
said reconciliation. She also mentioned that in her statement. However,
there has
been no documentary evidence or a medical report proffered before
this Court to
convince or persuade this court that, indeed, that was the case.
It is the failure of the Defendant at that material part in time to render
that
audit reconciliation which necessitated the report to the police by pW1,
and,
which triggered this matter.
Then, flowing from the evidence, unchallenged, is the fact that pW1
stated
that she gave all her record books to the Defendant to enable her
carry same
home, and, at her own convenience, carry out her own personal
reconciliation of
accounts which she, the Defendant never did, despite, being given
time" That
fact has not been controverted by the Learned Counsel to the Defendant.
Also, unchallenged is the fact that PW1 stated that she itemized the
missing phones and accessories valued at N2,560,000=, and, on
the card
section discovered the sum of N1,575,645 missing in her statement.
Now, more
importantly from the evidence before this Court, still unchallenged
in the fact that
there was a second reconciliation. PW1 stated that her reconciliation
is that there
was a second reconciliation. This second reconciliation comes, flowing
from the
evidence or PW1 which she mentioned. PW1's reconciliation
of over four million
plus has been alluded to, and, referred to the learned
counsel in this Court. lt is
this second reconciliation that is now being attacked, for which
the Defendant
paid the sum of N400,000= pursuant to.
From the evidence, it is agreed that Exhibit B is the reconciliation
