the circumstances zero on the commission of the offence by the accused, the court is entitled to draw the inference circumstantially that the accused was the author of the document and therefore the author of the crime.” It must be re-stated that each case is decided upon its peculiar facts and circumstances. In Aituma Vs. State [2006] 10 NWLR (Pt. 989) 452, the decision of the Court of Appeal that there was a need to call a hand writing expert or forensic analyst was premised on the fact that there was a handwritten alteration on the document alleged to have been forged, which necessitated an expert to determine whether it was the author of the document that also added the alteration. That is not the situation in the present case. 50
