Former Plateau State governor Jonah Jang on Thursday objected to attempts by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, to tender the statements of his two personal bank accounts in court, as pieces of evidence against him.
Jang’s objection was, however, to no avail as the judge ruled in favour of the anti-graft agency on the resumption of hearing of the matter on Thursday, June 27.reports that Jang, who had lost the attempt to stop the admission of the classified documents, again objected the attempt to tender the statements of his two bank accounts at First City Monument Bank Plc.
“My Lord, we are objecting to the attempt to submit the document because section 90 of the Evidence Act says that before such documents can be tendered, a foundation must first be laid. Ozekhome, who was represented by Mr Benson Igbanoi, argued further, “Details on accounts statements must be issued showing how they were printed from the computer system and well certified before any statement of account of a customer can be accepted in evidence in court.”
“Again, the PW10 is not the originator of the documents as clearly seen on them. One Mrs. Christina Olaitan and one Mr Ahmed printed the statements and not Gomwalk. “My Lord, section 146 of the Evidence Act says that as long as a document is being tendered by an official from such an organisation, it is okay and admissible.
Old fox, why scared if you're clean?
Old thief
He knows he's guilty. If not, oga! tender your personal bank statements
