Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and he explained the role
he played.
In conclusion DW2 testified that nobody sent them to the Director
Treasury and DW1 did not call PW1. DW2 testified that he did not
conspire
with
Solomon
Adakwu
and
DW1
to
take
away
Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) file. The
evidence of DWs 3 and 4 is not different from what DW1 testified
to the effect that the operatives of the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission (ICPC) visited DW1’s residence
in Zaria
with search and arrest warrants but could not find anything. DW3
testified that the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission
(ICPC) officials did not allow him to see his father. DW3 and DW4
also confirmed that she could not come to Abuja because DW3
said the operatives of Independent Corrupt Practices Commission
(ICPC) would not allow her to see him, DW1.
