Usoro said this making reference to some letters written by one Engineer Charlistus Ugwuagu, an occupant of No 15a and b on Macdonald Street in Ikoyi Lagos, property, to the Presidential Committee on Implementation Committee on Sales of Federal Government Property. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in one of its charges accused Saraki of declaring the asset that does not exist. But Usoro said the commission made an error in its evidence tendered before the tribunal. Usoro explained that according to Ugwuagu’s letter, the property on 15a Macdonald Street Ikoyi Street in Lagos has four bedroom bungalow, but that the one contained in EFCC’s charge had four bungalows and two boys quarters. This, the principal witness who is an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Michael Wetkas admitted to saying “Our investigation showed that there were three pieces of property located at McDonald road, Ikoyi, 15, block A and B, and 15b.” Usoro while arguing that the property under contention may not be that of the Senate President said, “The description on Ugwuagu’s letter shows it does not fit the description of that on the evidence as contained in exhibit 14.” Wetkas while responding to a question from Usoro also confirmed the difference and said, “Yes the property in Egwuagu’s letter is different from that contained in exhibit 14. “When people buy properties, they can expand it,” he added. The Chairman of CCT, Danladi Umar adjourned the matter till Tuesday next week for continuation of trial.
