“Yes, it is trite law that the evidence of one single witness can seal the case for the Prosecution; but it is not as simple as it sounds. The evidence of that one witness must be credible and acceptable - see Adelumola V. State (1988) 1 NWLR (Pi. 73) 683, Akpabio V. State (1994) 7 NWLR (Pt. 359) 635, and Onafowakan V. The State (1987) 3 NWLR (Pt 61) 538, wherein Oputa, JSC, aptly observed: One solitary credible witness can establish a case beyond reasonable doubt. But if the evidence of that solitary witness is either incredible - - or doubtful given all the surrounding circumstances then the appellate Court should either hold that the case was not proved beyond reasonable doubt or that it will be unsafe to convict on the evidence and either way the appeal should be allowed”.
