ABSTRACT
There is no law that says the plaintiff or the prosecution must bring
a million witnesses or evidence to court before he can succeed in his
case. A court can convict on a single witness. A case is not decided by
the numbers of witnesses, single credible convincing evidence is
enough to convict in a case but there are some exceptions”. The
exceptions refer to by this learned mean the circumstances where
corroboration will be required before any judge can decide his case.
Although
a judge can convict upon the uncorroborated evidence of an accomplice
but he must warn himself before given such conviction in fact he is
advised to seek corroborating evidence before convicting an accused
because failure to do so can lead to the setting aside of his judgment
on appeal.
Generally, corroboration cuts a niche for itself, it is
used both in criminal and civil cases. It will also state the position
of judges on the issue of corroboration and various decisions of court
on different issues arising from corroboration. In law, corroboration,
though popular yet controversial virtually under all legal system this
is due to the influence and interpretation of the provisions of the
Evidence Act and the criminal and penal codes (on corroboration of
evidence) by judges. The desirability of corroboration as a requirement
in certain criminal and civil cases under the Nigerian law of evidence
and the hope of examine it critically under our legal system is the
core focus of this study. This work will therefore elucidate the meaning
of corroboration in Nigeria and Canada generally, the role of judges
in deciding both civil and criminal cases and various statutory
provisions in respect of corroboration of evidence in Nigeria relying
largely on both primary and secondary source of law of evidence in
Nigeria.
