Defendant called him on phone, introduced himself as Honourable member of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) and on that assumed character informed PW1 that he has a case against him at the commission and that he will send two of his boys with the file exhibit 3 to come and show him. Learned prosecuting Counsel submitted further that based on the conversation on phone between PW1, Ibrahim Mohammed Bomai and the 1st Defendant, the 1st Defendant actually sent the 2nd Defendant and one Solomon Adakwu (now at large) to the office of PW1, the Director Treasury and the 2nd Defendant and Solomon Adukwu (now at large) also actually took the case file, exhibit 3 to PW1, which case file, exhibit 3 was false and untrue. The learned prosecution also stated that neither exhibit 3 nor its presenters i.e the Defendants were from the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC). He submitted that when exhibit 3 was presented to PW1, it was in the ordinary course of his official duties as Director, Treasury FCT. Further, the learned prosecution submitted that PW1 equally explained to the alleged boys of the 1st Defendant how the funds as per the content of exhibit 3 came to the FCT, which according to the prosecution, shows that the information itself as contained in exhibit 3 was false because no funds were misappropriated as claimed by the Defendants in exhibit 3. 17
