Section 11: Evidence, accomplices, etc.

(1) Where a person is charged with an offence under this Act, the fact that a bank note or current coin produced in evidence against him is false or counterfeit may be proved by the evidence of any credible witness, and it shall not be necessary to prove that fact by the evidence of an officer of the Central Bank of Nigeria or the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited.
(2) In any prosecution for an offence under this Act and in any proceedings for the forfeiture of any counterfeit bank note or current coin, any bank note or current coin in respect of which such prosecution or proceeding has been instituted shall be deemed to be a bank note or current coin of the kind or of the denomination specified under any application, notice or any other document or application for forfeiture, unless the contrary is proved.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any law (including any rule of law), no witness shall, in any trial under this Act, be presumed to be unworthy of credit by reason only that he took part in the commission of the offence.
(4)
Where a person is charged with an offence, but the evidence establishes an attempt to commit the offence, he may be convicted of having attempted to commit that offence, although the attempt is not separately charged, and punished as provided under this Act.
(5) Where a person is charged with an offence under this Act but the evidence establishes the commission of another offence under this Act, the offender shall not be entitled to acquittal but he may be convicted of that other offence and punished as provided under this Act.
