Prosecutor Akinola Abon presented four witnesses and the defendants’ statements. The convicts, who admitted to meeting in prison before committing the crimes, presented no defense.


Justice Bamidele Omotoso ruled that the prosecution had proved its case, sentencing them to life for kidnapping and death by hanging for armed robbery.
