He was on October 4, 2017, in front of the statements of the prosecution, led by Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, but his lawyer, Olalekan Ojo, urged the court to discourage the prosecution's request, as opposed to its admissibility . "The documents were not made by the defendant, and therefore do not meet the requirements of Section 83 of the Evidence Act," Ojo said, arguing that documents could only be filed through the bank officer who created them, and not through the accused. However, Jacobs had countered his argument, noting that the document's certification "was sufficient evidence to demonstrate compliance with the Test Act." "In addition, the defendant did not respond that the statements were not from his bank account, nor did he answer his photo and sign on them," Jacobs said. In ruling today, Judge Banjoko said: "The value of the statement is in the transaction, and therefore, the appropriate foundation is seen to have been well put." The objection is annulled, "said the judge of first With the objection rejected, Jacobs continued with Nyame's cross-examination, investigating him on transactions in the statement, which focused on several deposits in his account while he was governor of Taraba state between 1999 and 2007.
