The PW2 insisted under cross-examination by Nuhu Usman, Esq. of
counsel for the accused that the allocation letters in respect of the two
plots are neither fake nor forged. When pressed to reconcile her extrajudicial statement in Exhibit P3C (wherein she wrote that the allocation
letters are fake) with her oral testimony in court, the PW2 maintained
that she wrote Exhibit P3C under duress as she was told pointedly that
she would not be released unless she wrote the statement; and that it
was an official of the EFCC, Mrs. Janet [Arua] who wrote the statement
and asked herself, Sanni Audu and the accused person to copy it out.
Under re-examination, the PW2 maintained that Mrs. Janet Arua asked
her to copy out the content of Exhibit P3C from what she had written,
but did not write out her other statements, notably Exhibit P3B, for her
to copy out.
The PW3, Mrs. Janet Arua stated that she has been an investigator with
EFCC for seven (7) years and knows the accused person; that on 7/9/12,
the Commission received a petition written by Deacon Daniel (PW1)
against Mrs. Elizabeth Agboga alleging that he bought two (2) plots of
land – one was a 5-hectare plot which he bought N5milion and the
other, a 1 hectare plot which he bought for N1.2million; that he also
alleged that he gave Mrs. Elizabeth Agboga N170,000.00 for change of
name and for charting; that he alleged that after he had paid these
monies to Mrs. Elizabeth Agboga, he did not hear from her; that upon
receipt of the petition, the EFCC wrote to Abuja Municipal Area Council
(AMAC) to confirm the genuineness of the documents and the response
they got from AMAC was that the documents were not genuine. The
PW3 further stated that upon being invited, Mrs. Elizabeth Agboga
(PW2) claimed that she got the documents from her boss without
disclosing his name, but subsequently mentioned the name of Sanni
