Under criminal procedure, "statement" means "An account of a person's knowledge of a crime, taken by the police during their investigation of the offence" - page 1539 of Black's Law Dictionary, Deluxe Ninth Edition. Exhibit "B" in this case is a statement allegedly made by the appellant when he was a suspect of the offence with which he was later charged and eventually convicted of. Exhibit "B" does not qualify as a "letter" or "document" under Section 3 of the Illiterates Protection Law and it is not a necessary requirement that an illiterate jurat should be inserted therein. One of the requirements for admissibility of an extra-judicial statement made by a suspect, if the statement is a confession, is that it must be free and voluntary. A procedural requirement, non-compliance of which is not fatal to admissibility, is the taking of the suspect before a Superior Police Officer for confirmation of his confessional statement, known as the Judges Rules.

The appellant stated so when he testified under cross-examination, at page 34 of the record of appeal, as follows: "I stopped my education while I was in the primary school.

It was at Agbarho that I went to primary school." In any case, the erudite professor of law, Prof. I. E. Sagay, opined that the intention of an Illiterates Protection Law is to protect persons by ensuring that they fully understand their obligations and rights in contractual documents before signing them so that they will not be cheated. The learned professor wrote on page 468 of his book: Nigerian Law of Contract, as follows: "The illiterates protection laws are meant to protect a person illiterate in the language of a contractual document from being cheated if in fact he did not understand the document he has signed." The trial Court, per Hon. Justice Emudain-Owho, was eminently right by holding that: "An illiterate jurat on a document executed by an illiterate is only applicable to contractual documents." I agree with the decision of the trial Court on this issue." Per ADUMEIN, J.C.A. (Pp. 20-24, Paras. E-F) (...read in context) 7.
