paragraphs. Court is urged to hold and discountenance
the submission accordingly.
Furthermore, there was no evidence on record to show
that the $300,000.00 USD allegedly received by Khali
Fertilizer company was for purchase of cars.
Court is
urged to discountenance the argument as unsupported
by any admissible evidence in court.
In response to the prosecution’s submission in paragraph
4.7 at Page 10, it is submitted that there is no admissible
evidence before the court to support the prosecution’s
argument that the Defendant was orally directed by the
then Chief of Air Staff to liaise with Himma Abubakar, to
see to the timely delivery of the military supplies.
It is submitted that the vehicles given to the Defendant as
alleged gifts were in fact, vehicles bought by the
Defendant himself with the repayment of debts incurred
on behalf of Himma Abubakar which he paid back by
way of transferring credits from his personal account with
Coscharis Motors to that of the Defendant.
Court is
referred to Exhibits S, T, W, Y6 – Y14. There is no evidence
before the court to prove that the contractor bought the
vehicles for the Defendant as alleged in the charge.
