Oga Oloye, I disagree with you on this one. Taking someone's word for it based on name or wealth is what makes us a sorry nation. God is no respecter of persons.

Adokiye himself is a legal eagle and ought to know the weight of evidence when making a damning claim.
We can't exempt him from doing what is a basic requirement of any developed society

Adokiye is a credible witness.

credible witness
n. a witness whose testimony is more than likely to be true based on his/her experience, knowledge, training and appearance of honesty and forthrightness, as well as common human experience.

A Credible Witness Is Trustworthy and Believable
POSTED IN CRIMINAL LAW PROCESS BY LAWYERS.COMSM


Credibility includes those qualities of a witness that makes their testimony believable. A witness’s testimony is evidence. The believability of evidence is one of the most important parts of a trial. There are certain factors that tend to increase a witness’s credibility, including:

• Accuracy
• Demeanor
• Lack of bias
• Motivation for testifying

A credible witness has first-hand knowledge of the case and accurately states the facts. They’re consistent in telling and re-telling their story. A credible witness is confident and knowledgeable. If a witness has an emotional or personal interest in a trial’s outcome, their credibility can be challenged for bias. On the other hand, an impartial witness has greater credibility. If a witness has nothing to gain, financially or personally, credibility isn’t a problem. There’s no reason to challenge the witness’s motivation for testifying.

Who’s Credible

Depending on the type of criminal trial, there can be expert witnesses, a jailhouse informant or even a child witness. Some witnesses come into trial with built-in credibility. For example, an expert witness takes the stand to testify about DNA. There aren’t very many people who have the knowledge, experience and credentials to testify about DNA. So, an expert witness on DNA knows what they’re talking about and has considerable believability.
On the other hand, a jailhouse informant’s credibility might be lessened because they’re getting reduced jail time in exchange for their testimony. As such, the informant has a strong reason or motivation to testify. On top of that, the informant might be testifying while handcuffed and in a prison jumpsuit. A witness’s appearance, attitude and demeanor can affect believability. Juries are often instructed to review an informant’s testimony with particular care.

Why Credibility is Important

A witness’s credibility is important because it can make or break a case and influence the jury’s decision. Sometimes a witness is the only source of a critical piece of information. Credibility may be the deciding factor in whether a witness takes the stand to testify. A witness’s credibility can be attacked by either side at trial, including the side that called the witness.

Credibility problems can arise if a witness has made earlier statements that are inconsistent with their trial testimony. In other words, the witness might not be believable because they changed their story. Also, a witness’s prior criminal record can affect credibility. For example, a witness’s testimony might not be trustworthy because a prior fraud conviction means that they’ve been dishonest in the past.

At the end of a criminal trial, the judge will instruct the jury on witness credibility. The jury decides who’s believable and who isn’t. A jury can believe all of a witness’s testimony, some of it or none of it. Credibility is always a question for the jury to answer.

I'm not going to get involved with definition of credibility etc. If you have evidence, which he had, then why not present it? A person of low standing can be just as credible. Associating credibility to,fame and fortune in NIgeria can be very dangerous.

Present the evidence

I have always been amazed how so many of our 2008 Olympic silver medal winning team have dropped off of the radar while one of the supposed oldest member of the squad is still playing in the EPL

The Belgian team we thrashed still has the likes of Vermaleen, Fellaini, Vertonghen, dembele, Mirallas and others who are still going strong in the EPL.

Oh well you reap what you sow

On a serious note, this is what you wrote and you need to consider it in the light of evidence b/4 you and evidence provided on the meaning of evidence, credible witness, etc.

Adokiye may have been a national hero and be respected for it, but when he claims that person x is a cheat, he must provide evidence to back his claim.
