The 2nd witness Mr Charles Otasowie Adenomo (3RWO2) , ward 6 collation agent, a farmer from Ikpoba Okha LGA. When Counsel to the petitioner Kemi Penheiro (SAN) asked whether he was trained by his Party with INEC manual 2016 he answered, ,No. So because you weren't trained with the INEC manual 2016, its clear that you don't know what Over voting means? The witness said I don't know. Asked if it will be correct to say that because you didn't visit other polling units in your ward, can you tell if you saw proper accreditation. his reply was that l don't know because l didn't visit other units other than my own unit, so l can't tell. |

The 8th witness, Mr.Enogheghase Johnson, a farmer from Agbonmwonba Village, he is to be cross examined with exhibit PO 4(78). During cross examination, the witness was asked if he isn't surprised that his party didn't train him with any INEC document for example, the INEC 2016 manual his response was that he isn't surprised at all. Asked if he used the INEC voters register to produce his deposition, he answered Kemi Penheiro (SAN) added, so your statements in paragraphs 13,16 & 17 of your deposition wasn't based on any INEC manual or Voters register? But before he could answer, his counsel raised an objection that the witness be shown his deposition so as to identify those paragraphs, Kemi Penheiro (SAN) did by asking the witness to read out those paragraphs to the hearing of the court, after he executed that task, he was referred back to that same last question and he said "It was based on INEC documents" this answer threw the court into great laughter. |
