Jang vs EFCC Case: ICPC Lied On Oath, Witnesses Tell Court - THISDAYLIVE

Two Defense witnesses in the ongoing case between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the immediate past Governor of Plateau State, Jonah David Jang have told a Jos High Court that the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offence Commission gave completely false testimony to mislead the court when it said that it obtained voluntary statement from Mr. Yusuf Pam, a former Cashier in the office of the Secretary to the State Government standing trial alongside Jang.

The Prosecution Counsel had sought to tender the written statements as evidence in the court but the Defence Counsel, Mr. Mike Ozekhome had objected to the admission of the statement on the grounds that it was not obtained voluntarily, a development which made Justice Longji who presided over case to order for a trial-within-trial in order to ascertain the voluntariness of the controversial documents.

Narrating how he was threatened on the two different occasions by the ICPC officials during interrogation at the Commission’s office in Abuja to make the statements, Pam insisted that the two written statements which he gave were never voluntarily obtained but done under duress.
