Justice Adesanya handed down the verdict after the convict pleaded guilty to a one-count amended charge of attempted robbery following a plea bargain arrangement he entered into with the prosecution.

Olowo was first arraigned on November 9, 2018, on a three-count charge of arm robbery, which carried a life jail term but because of the plea agreement, the charge was amended to robbery.

He had initially pleaded not guilty when he was first arraigned and trial has commenced, and the prosecution counsel.

The prosecution team led by Olayemi Shofolu had called two witnesses to prove the state’s case against the convict.

When the case came up for hearing, the prosecution counsel notified the court about the amended charge.

Shofolu told the court that the convict committed the offence on July 26, 2017, at No. 1 Akowonjo Street, Lagos.

He said the convict had attempted to rob one Desmond Ifeanyi of his personal belongings, stating further that the offence contravened Section 298(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

She ordered that the sentence would take effect from October 16, 2017, when the convict was first remanded.
