Cap. RII, Vol. 14 and Section 1(2) (a) Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act. Cap. RII, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.<\/p>\n<p>In his testimony before the court, the victim said, \u201cI am a commercial motorcyclist plying Otun and Erinmope Ekiti. On the fateful day, I conveyed a lady from Otun to Erinmope Ekiti. On my way back to Otun, one man stopped me, we negotiated to take him to Irare village. I refused to go further when I discovered I was going inside the forest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw a motorcyclist pushing his bike towards us, he intervened in the argument, he said he was the one who brought the man from Ado Ekiti but ran out of petrol, he assured me of my safety and I later agreed. He was making several phone calls while we were going.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn our way, we bypassed a man and another one in front of me, before I knew it, the one at my back tried to strangle me on the motorcycle. When we fell, we were dragging the bike, the one I bypassed and the other in front of me joined and they dispossessed me of the motorcycle and ran away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw a man and his wife coming from their farm on a motorcycle, I narrated what happened to them and they raised the alarm and villagers came out and combed the surroundings which led to arrest of one of them. \u201cThereafter, he was handed over to the police. He later led the police to the Atikankan area of Ado Ekiti where other members of the gang were arrested but the motorcycle was nowhere to be found till today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To prove his case, the prosecutor, Julius Ajibare, called three witnesses and tendered the defendants\u2019 statements as exhibits while the defendants spoke through their counsel, Adeyinka Opaleke.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering his judgment, Justice Adekunle Adeleye said, \u201cThere is an evidence of direct plot between the conspirators. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants indeed took steps to achieve the agreed task of robbery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the evidence placed before the court by the complainant, he has established beyond reasonable doubt, the meeting of mind of the defendants to dispossess the owner of a motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also established without doubt that the defendants took steps in achieving the agreed unlawful act of dispossessing his Bajaj motorcycle. The four defendants are found guilty in count one (conspiracy) and count two (armed robbery) as charged.\u201d<br \/>\nThe judge subsequently sentenced the convicts to death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The convicts were charged and arraigned before Justice Adekunle Adeleye on 17th July, 2020 on a two-count charge of conspiracy and armed robbery Four men has been sentenced to death for armed robbery in Ekiti by the State high court.
