Count and caused the Use by Another of the Funds belonging to the Plateau State Government’s Ecological Funds thereby Misappropriating this Sum. A logical reason for the Defendant giving this Amount of Money to Dr. Kingsley Nkumah can be seen as an Inducement/Gratification for the prompt release of the Cheque to the Plateau State Government. The Ecological Funds Cheque was written out, Processed, Confirmed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and delivered to the Defendant on the Same Day, which is an unusual occurrence. If the confession of Dr. Kingsley Nkumah is anything to go by, and if the Refund of this Sum is also be reckoned with, it has not changed the fact that the Deprivation of the Funds due to the Plateau State Government, need not be a Permanent Loss as by the Principles above stated, a Temporal Loss is sufficient. In conclusion, the Court finds that the Defendant, being a Public Officer was entrusted with the Sum of Eighty Million Naira (N80, 000, 000), property of the Plateau State Government’s Ecological Funds, meant to address the Ecological Problems of Plateau State, had full Control and Dominion over this Fund. However, in breach of the Trust reposed on him by the Citizens of Plateau State, he caused the Payment of this Amount to an Outsider/Stranger to Plateau State Government, contrary to the Set Purpose of the Funds with a dishonest intent towards facilitating the Early Release of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Cheque and is accordingly found Guilty of the Offence in Count 4.
