punishment as if he had forged the thing in question.
It is immaterial whether the false document or writing, or counterfeit seal, was made in
Nigeria or elsewhere.
The term "fraudulently" means an intention that the thing in question shall be used or
acted upon as genuine, whether in Nigeria or elsewhere, to the prejudice of some

person, or not, shall, in the belief that the thing in question is genuine, be induced to
do or refrain from doing some act, whether in Nigeria or elsewhere.
