*AGBOOLA v. STATE*
(2013) LPELR-20652(SC)

⚖️ PRINCIPLE ⚖️

*Effect of a thumb impression on a document; and what constitutes signature on a document*

"A thumb impression authenticates a document as much as a signature does. It has been stated that: "Exactly what constitutes a 'signature' has never been reduced to a judicial formula, but it has usually been regarded that whatever is intended as a signature is valid signing, no matter how imperfect or unfinished or fantastic or illegible or even false the separate characters or symbols used may be."
See 33 American State Papers." Per NWALI SYLVESTER NGWUTA, JSC (Pp 43 - 43 Paras A - C)

“All that glisters is not gold
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.”
- The Merchant of Venice
