A Senior Advocate of Nigeria,
Chief Thompson Okpoko, SAN, today said there must be two documents for anyone
to prove a case of forgery against the former Minister of Finance, Kemi
Adeosun.
The legal practitioner made the
assertion during a chat with select newsmen in Warri.
Chief Okpoko argued that out of
the two documents, “must be the genuine one and the other must be the fake
one.”
Chief Okpoko who gave legal
insights to the recent development in the country especially as it relates to
Kemi Adeosun said,”It is the comparison of the two that will enable us to
determine if a forgery has been committed.
“That is the position that I
know. So I cannot tell you if there is a forgery.”
According to Chief Okpoko,”On the
other hand, it is said that a person is presumed to be innocent until proven
guilty.
“It now depends on the person who
accused her of forgery to come forward with documents to prove it.
“At least, she said she did not know
and we must take that as the face value until somebody comes forward and say
otherwise.”
