Richard Jakpa, the third accused in the ongoing ambulance procurement trial, has claimed during court proceedings on Thursday, June 20, that Attorney-General Godfred Dame relied on documents he had requested from Jakpa to build his case.
Jakpa asserted that these documents, part of the communications between him and the Attorney-General, were instrumental in shaping the prosecution’s strategy against him.
He suggested that the AG’s reliance on these documents raised concerns about the fairness of the prosecution’s case, as it appeared that the evidence was largely derived from his own submissions.
Additionally, Jakpa reiterated his earlier claims that the WhatsApp messages submitted by the AG as evidence had been tampered with.
He maintained that the content had been altered to misrepresent his communications, which he argued could undermine the credibility of the prosecution’s case.
The court, having admitted 68 WhatsApp messages into evidence, must now consider these allegations seriously as it deliberates on the weight and authenticity of the presented evidence.
