He was then shown Exhibit P14, where he endorsed his Signature, and he identified where he had signed in Serial Number 25, although he claimed the writing was faint. A Clearer Copy Exhibit P5 was shown to him, and he identified from the Register, his Name, and the Name on the Cheque to be Plateau State Government, written out in the Sum of N1, 161, 162, 900 and dated the 12th of July 2001. Although he admitted signing the Register, he denied the Signature being his, as it was not clear. According to this Witness, he was not wrong when he signed the Cheque for Plateau State Government and agreed that the Money was meant for Plateau State Government. He did not assist the Defendant in disbursing the Sum of One Hundred Million Naira (N100, 000, 000) each to PDP South-West and PDP North-East, because he was carrying out an ad hoc duty on the instruction of the Defendant. He did not know the Monies were Public Funds, but agreed the Cheque was meant for the Plateau State Government. Although, the Drafts had their Origin from the Cheque, he could not say whether PDP South-West and PDP North-East were part of Plateau State Government, and neither did he know, if it was wrong to give State Funds to PDP South-West and PDP North-East. It was his understanding that all the transactions he had carried out concerning the Bank Drafts, were not Corruption-Based Transactions. Now, if the evidence of Victor Dilang is to be believed by the Court, then it means that he collected the Cheque on the 12th of July 2001, first took it to the Defendant at the Liaison Office, then went to the AllStates Trust Bank Plc., Abuja Branch, in the company of the Unnamed Person from the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Nkumah, spent hours as he claimed in the Bank, where the Draft Payments of N80Million was given to the Unnamed Person and he was given the Draft of N100Million for delivery to the Minister of Special Duties, Mr. Yomi Edu, and upon delivery to Mr. Yomi Edu, at his Office, the Defendant discovered through a telephone call to Mr. Edu, that there was still an outstanding Sum of N100Million due to the Vice-President, then Mr. Dilang went back to the Bank with the Account Number of Marine Float, (owned by the Vice-President), given to him, whereupon he proceeded to AllStates Trust Bank Plc., to collect another Draft in the Sum of N100Million and then he proceeded to Habib Bank to deposit the Draft in Marine Float’s Account, and on his return to the Liaison Office, he gave the Defendant the a Deposit Slip on the 12th of July 2001 and then the Defendant informed him that the Sum of N10Million was to be given to the then Deputy Senate President, Senator Nasiru Ibrahim Mantu, and stated that he, Sergeant Victor Dilang, played no role nor witnessed the giving of the Money. The Court deliberately did not put a FULL STOP in the above recantation of the sequence of Mr. Dilang’s activities on the 12th of July 2001. It is admittedly longwinded. Sergeant Victor Dilang agreed that he met with the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Nkumah, who through Mr. Adewusi, gave him a Cheque and perhaps, had a brief conversation with him, but he could not recognize or identify Dr. Nkumah, when shown his Passport Photograph on the Mandate Card admitted as Exhibit P8. Sergeant Victor Dilang also agreed that the Defendant gave him a Handwritten Note to the Bank on the 12th of July 2001, which he identified before the Court as Exhibit P4 at Page 2. A cursory glance at the Date on Exhibit P4 shows that the Defendant in his Handwritten Note to the Bank wrote the date, as 19th day of July 2001. The Defendant had not only signed the Note but had dated it and when shown the disparity of dates, he had no explanation. He also had no explanation to the notation made by the AllStates Trust Bank Plc. on the Handwritten Note dated the 20th of July 2001. 130
