There was no photo of the accidented vehicle to support his defence.<\/p>\n<p>The alibi according to decided authorities must have been promptly and lucidly disclosed to the police during investigation. It is the considered opinion of this court that the alibi is an after-thought which cannot avail the accused person\u201d, the Court said.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution also alleged that Oyebamji on his Facebook account \u201cthreatened the lives of Chief Solomon Ojedayo and his household by sending defamatory and threatening messages to his phone via Facebook that his life will soon be over as it cost him nothing to eliminate him and his household.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He had also described High Chief Solomon Ojedayo as \u201cSosoliso Ojedidakuda, Olowo Igbo\u201d on the Facebook, an act considered as defamatory.<\/p>\n<p>Though he denied referring to the complainant as \u201cSosoliso Ojedidakuda\u201d, claiming that he is a writer, a poet and author, who could use words figuratively, the Court held that the coincidence of the name simulation with the reference drawn, was meant to disparage the complainant, and therefore the prosecution proved its case against him.<\/p>\n<p>Having reviewed the whole four issues raised from the written addresses of the prosecution and the defence, Chief Magistrate Salami resolved that \u201cthe evidence, both oral and written, weighed against the defendant. So, the prosecution had manifestly proved its case against the defendant. The 7th accused person is therefore found guilty and is accordingly convicted\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In his allocutus, Oyebamiji\u2019s lawyer, Niran Ojekale, pleaded for leniency.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI apply to the magnanimity of the court to temper justice with mercy. All along the proceedings, the convict had suffered greatly by having to be remanded in police custody. He is a family man whose dependants will suffer greatly if he is thrown into the Correctional Centre. He has children still schooling, and he is a political figure. I shall be praying the court to award an option of fine as there is no record of his being a convict before\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In his final judgment, the Chief Magistrate sentenced the former parliamentarian to 16- month imprisonment with an option of N500,000.<\/p>\n<p>The convict was subsequently whisked to the Abolongo Correctional Centre in Oyo Town pending when he could settle the awarded option of fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court granted the convict a fine of N500,000 in lieu of the sentence An Oyo State Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court sitting in Ogbomoso has sentenced a former lawmaker Dr. Folaranmi Oyebamiji to one year and four months imprisonment.
