Drama as AC witness claims to be a lawyer - Can’t tell year he was called to the Bar Reporter - 05.08.2009 AN Action Congress witness who told the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Osogbo, Osun State, on Tuesday, that he was a lawyer, gave two conflicting years as the year he was called to the bar. The witness, Jonathan Adewumi, informed the tribunal that he was called to the Bar seven years ago and gave the actual year as 2005. Later after some arguments between counsel for the parties, he was asked by the tribunal to explain what it called the “ambiguity” in the claim and the man changed the date again claiming that he was “actually called to the Bar in September, 2006.” The witness again could not give the names of any of his mates at the Law School and said he could not remember the name of the person who signed his call to the Bar form. Responding to questions during cross-examination by Alex Izinyon,, lead counsel for Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the witness also said he could not remember the names of his teachers at the Law School and could not remember the courses he offered. When asked to explain what he knew as the duty of the Body of Benchers, the AC witness stated that the body determined “who passes and gets called to the Bar.” He also could not give the name of the Head of the Lagos Campus of the Law School which he claimed he attended. The following were the questions and answers between lawyers and the AC witness. Question: Where do you live? Answer: Oyan, Odo-Otin Local Government Area, Osun State.

Izinyon: I object.The answer was not ambiguous Gadzama : I equally object to the re-examination the answer was very straight forward Owolade: There is no basis for the re-examination the witness was emphatic about the year he was called to the Bar. Olujimi cited Evidence Act, Section 189(3) and some cases to support his argument for the question. Izinyon: On point of law, the cases cited do not support the case. The words used in section 189(3)are very clear- “explanation of matters”- explanation only comes if there is ambiguity. Inconsistency and contradiction are not the same. A witness can be inconsistent without being contradictory. Gadzama: The statements were very clear, he did not say just “seven.” He said he was “seven years old at the Bar” Ruling There is ambiguity which he needs to clear. Olujimi: Can you tell the tribunal which is the correct thing-You said you were seven years old at the Bar and again that you were called to the Bar in 2005? Answer: Actually, I was called to the Bar in September 2006. [b][/b] |

The witness again could not give the names of any of his mates at the Law School and said he could not remember the name of the person who signed his call to the Bar form. why should he? The onus is on the defandant to proof his/her case. And it is only possible by checking with Nigeria Bar to get list of students that year! Q.E.D |

@Ijawman this kind of post aimed at a particular people is highly degrading, not to the southwest people perse but to the minimum level of intellectual sanity expected of anyone that claimed to be educated. It is typically education without character, the story of the impostor "lawyer witness" in AC's case reflects the sympton of a sick society which is now at home with us in Nigeria, however, it beat my imagination to see Ijawman descending to this level of insanity. Your hatred for southwest people must have impaired your sense of judgment and responsibility, it actually put a question mark on your character. If 90% of certificates in southwest are fake, it then follows that all the Universities in the southwest are also fake, in short you demonstrate a reasoning capacity that is far less than that of a beast. |
