because of the filibustering tactics of the Cross-Examining Counsel. See the case of JAIL SHREE YADAV VS STATE OF UP 2004 CRLJ 4826 (SC) AIR 2004 SUPREME COURT 4443. Now, after considering the above Principles, the Court would determine through Oral and Documentary Exhibits, whether the Prosecution satisfactorily discharged the Legal Burden placed on it to establish the Offence of Criminal Breach of Trust in respect of the Purchase of Grains by the Taraba State Government in the sum of N24, 300,000.00 (Twenty Four Million, Three Hundred Thousand Naira). The Oral Evidence of each of the Witnesses across the divide and the Documentary Exhibits tendered would be considered. The allegation made by the Prosecution through its Witnesses such as, the Permanent Secretary of the Taraba State, Abuja Liaison Office, the Accountant of this Office, the Investigating Police Officers and Mr. Joel Andrews, the Chief Accountant Government House, will be pitted against the testimonies of the Defence Witnesses who are: - Mr. Yakubu Bulus, the Accountant at the Accountant General’s Office; Mr. Philips E. Akolo, the Defendant’s Orderly; Mr. Aminu Ayuba, the Accountant in Charge of Salaries, Government House; and finally Reverend Jolly Nyame, the Defendant. Mr. Japheth Wubon, had uttered a very far-reaching Statement, when he said that the Defendant as Governor, had told him that anyinstruction passed on to him from his Chief Security Agent, was authentic. As regards the Purchase of the Grains, Mr. Wubon stated that the Instruction to him from the Defendant was passed on through the Chief Detail, Mr. Adamu Aboki. He had also stated that the Defendant as Governor, called him on the Telephone shortly after he received the Instruction, confirming that the message passed onto him by the Chief Detail was in order and he should go ahead to execute it. This singular fact was not challenged or controverted by the Defendant himself, or by his Legal Representation, and therefore must be accepted by 155
