The 1st and 2nd Defendants then made away with the phones, which they later sold to the 3rd Defendant, one Daniel Joseph for N6,000.

The police tracked the phones to the 3rd defendant, who led them to arrest the 1st and 2nd defendants.

The court presided over by Justice Onome Marshall-Umukoro in his judgement, held that the prosecution proved the case against the 1st and 2nd defendants beyond reasonable doubt.

The court found them guilty of the offences as charged and convicted them accordingly.

The Court held that the case against the 3rd defendant was not proved beyond reasonable doubt.

He was accordingly discharged and acquitted of the offence of receiving robbed property.
