The Development of Banking in Nigeria The historical development of the financial system in Nige- ria dates back to 1892 when modern banking business com- menced and a formal and institutional channel of saving mobilization was introduced into the economy with the es- tablishment of the African Banking Corporation (ABC). The operation of ABC was later taken over in 1894 by the British Bank of West Africa (which later became Standard Bank) and subsequently, First Bank of Nigeria. Owing to the colo- nial heritage, the pioneer commercial banks in Nigeria were of foreign origin and their operations favoured finance of foreign trade and commerce. Thereafter, several other foreign and a host of indigenous banks were established. The establishment of indigenous banks was initially propelled largely by nationalistic con- sciousness rather than the existence of relevant resources, including basic skilled manpower, for running such institu- tions. Consequently most of the early indigenous banks col- lapsed in rapid succession. Banks that failed during the early stage of the evolution of the Nigerian financial system were largely those with problems of inadequate capital, poor management, and fraudulent practices, among other factors. An important feature of the Nigerian financial system, es- pecially before the establishment of the Central Bank of Ni- geria (CBN), was small scope of operations of participating foreign institutions and the complete absence of any form of institutional regulatory framework which would provide the necessary guide for both the operations and orderly devel- opment of the system. These were some of the reasons be- hind the slow development of the financial system during the pre-CBN era. The situation however changed from 1958 when the CBN was established. Since then, series of efforts have been made ix [1994 – 1996] 6 N.B.L.R. (PART I) Nigerian Banking Law Reports by the CBN and other relevant authorities to promote the growth and development of the Nigerian financial system. For example, the need to develop the system and create an avenue for investment of short term funds informed the issue by the CBN in 1960 of Treasury Bills as a supplement to Commercial Papers that were already in the market. Other money market instruments after the establishment of the CBN but prior to the introduction of the Structural Adjust- ment Programme (SAP) in 1986 included Treasury Certifi- cates in 1968, Certificates of Deposit in 1975 and the Bank- ers’ Unit Fund as well as Stabilization Securities in 1976. The establishment of the CBN also aided the development of the capital market.

CRIMINAL LAW AND PROCEDURE -IDENTIFICATION PARADE: Circumstances where an identification parade will not be necessary "The oral evidence of PW1 confirms the statement he made immediately after the robbery which was admitted as Exhibit `A' under cross-examination. He made Exhibit A on 16/9/2012 when the incident of the robbery was still very fresh in his memory. His description of the 2nd accused now appellant was:- "The 2nd man was dark in complexion, charcoal black. He also wore no mask.' In his oral evidence he said: - "The 2nd accused was standing at the door pointing his gun at me and I was wondering that this small boy could be an armed robber. A young boy, charcoal black." (underlining mine for emphasis). In his brief of argument in paragraph 4.4, learned counsel for the appellant maintained that no mention was made of PW1 recognizing or identifying the appellant in Exhibit "A". This is far from the truth. The only thing PW1 did not do was to call the appellant's name. Learned counsel for the respondent argued that the appellant was properly identified by PW1.
