Yahaya beautiful v. EFCC: The Court sets on May 8 for the decision on the admissibility of the judgment of the Abuja court on the payment of school fees

The High Federal Court of Abuja set on May 8 for the sentence of eligibility or in another way for a ruling of the high court of the territory of the Federal capital in the FCT/HC/CV/2574/2023 case between Bello Ali and the built -in administrators of the American international school, Abuja.

Joseph Daudu, San, representing the former governor of the State of Kogi, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, who is facing a trial for alleged money laundering, on Friday before proceeding with a cross examination of the third witness of the Fcc, Nicholas Ohehomon, by the American International School, Abuja (Aisa), published the judgment.

The sentence had decided on the issue of payment of taxes or reimbursement in the case in progress established by the Commission for economic and financial crimes against the immediate past governor of the State of Kogi.

Yahaya Bello had also tried to offer the revenue of the reviving of this judgment of the Alta Court of Abuja.

However, the legal consultant of the FCC, Kemi Pinherio, San, who previously guided the witness in evidence, had vehemently opposed the tenders of the document, stating that the accusation had not yet closed his case.

He claimed that the accused could not offer documents at a time when the accusation was still demonstrating his case.

Citing Section 232 of the test law, Pinheiro said that the only type of documents that can be offered during the cross exam are the previous statements in writing of a witness in order to contract or challenge his current testimony.

Reacting, Daudu said: “My Lord, the admissibility of documents in criminal or civil cases is ruined rigorously and exclusively by the principles of relevance for the proceedings at hand.

“Once judged relevant, it becomes automatically admissible. This is what is contained in sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Avence Act, 2011.

“The question for your lordship is: this document is relevant and admissible in line with the supply of the Air Force Act. The answer was provided by my learned brother Silk for the charge when referring to the content of the judgment and read a part that states that a particular relief was refused and that the commission agreement was confirmed in the same judgment. “

He said that the public documents he tried to provide were made fun of to America International School, Abuja as part and that as regards the defendant, the witness was the only witness of the school on the subject.

Daudu insisted on the fact that the objection of the FCC was speculative because “he still doesn’t know what we want to do with the record.

“Because he (Pinhero, San) is not at ease with the document does not stop his admissibility,” he added.

Pinherio, however, urged the court to reject the copy of the sentence, claiming that the defender had not shown that it falls within the section 232 of the law on tests.

After listening to the consultancy observations on the admissibility or not of the FCT’s High Court sentence, the judge of the trial, the judge Emeka Nwite postponed the case to 8 and 9 May, for the decision on the admissibility of the document and for the continuation of the trial.

Previously, when the trial resumed on Friday, Kemi Pinheiro, San, asked the Chancellor of the Court to give the witness, Nicholas Ohehomon, Exhibit 13p1.

The witness identified the exhibition as a telex from the bank sent to the school via E -Amail of Ali Bello.

The witness was also told to identify the exhibitions from 13p2 to 13p4 and confirmed that they were transfers carried out by Forza Oil and Gas in favor of their respective children.

He identified the 13p5 exhibition, a telex as a oil whale and gas at the American international school and others.

The witness told the Court that the name of Yahaya Bello is not indicated as a sender in any of the transfers of funds to Aisa.

During the examination, the FCC consultant asked the witness to tell the court whose payment of payment were issued and declared the witness, the revenues were issued on behalf of four children of the former governor, after being pushed by the lawyer.

The defender councilor, Joseph Daudu, San, cut, saying that the witness should read the names on the receipt.

“My Lord, he (Pinhero, San) is demonstrating this document. The witness cannot import or deduce in the exhibition what is not there, “he said.

In the meantime, the defender was unable to proceed with his cross exam because the judge had to update for the decision on the admissibility of a sentence of the high court of the FCT on the issue of payments of the school fees.

The judgment is said to have resolved the accusations presented against Yahaya beautiful by the anti-ingesto agency on the payment of children’s school fees.

In particular, according to what reported, the Court verdict declared the action of the FCC on the mode of school fees of illegal and illegal children for the fact that children have hindered fundamental rights on education.
