The prosecutor Adeola Johnson called three witnesses and tendered defendant statements, motorcycle particulars, receipts, search warrant among others as exhibits to prove his case.

The defendant who called no witness spoke through his counsel E.K. Adetifa who pleaded to court to temper justice with mercy.

In his judgment, Justice Olatawura said, “I am therefore satisfied that the prosecution has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant conspired with another person to commit the offence.

“Consequent upon the foregoing the defendant is found guilty of the offences of conspiracy and armed robbery as charged.

“On conspiracy, the defendant is sentenced to seven years imprisonment and in count 2 (Armed Robbery) the sentence of the count upon you is that you be hanged by the neck until you be dead and may God have mercy on your soul.’’
