which allows the admissibility of evidence which apart from the Act would be admissible. A closer look at the Evidence Act 2011 tends to show a technical content departure from the above position as the provision of Section 5 of the Evidence 1990 is no longer retained in its entirety in the Evidence Act 2011 which has altered the position that nothing will prejudice the admissibility of any evidence which apart from the provision of the Act be admissible. The Evidence Act 2011 now subjects the admissibility of any evidence other than the one provided in the Act only to those contained in any other legislation in Nigeria. See Section 3 Evidence Act 2011, it provides thus; Nothing in this Act shall prejudice the admissibility of any evidence that is made admissible by any other legislation validly in force in Nigeria. It is noteworthy, that by the application of the principle of Stare Decisis, any case in which our courts have made pronouncements using the MAKIN’s case as a bench mark will make the same position as applied under Section 5 of the Evidence Act 1990 to be applicable under Section 3 of the Evid ence Act 2011, because judges decisions are also part of the Nigerian Legislation.
