A. Abaji, averred during the proceedings that on January 29, 2020, the accused men, armed with various weapons, including matchetes and locally made guns, invaded the Aku community, and set properties on fire.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, Abaji added, the accused men hacked Chief Sylvester Muhammedu Sule, his elder brother, Mr Owoicho Sule Onuh and one other person to death in the community.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution counsel added that the lifeless body of one of the victims, Owoicho Sule, was thereafter dismembered, tied in a sack and dumped in a well.<\/p>\n<p>In his final written address, Barrister Abaji submitted that the defendants\u2019 pleas of not guilty were only a mere denial.<\/p>\n<p>He averred that the defendants utterly failed to raise a defence as to the commission of all the offenses established against them, rather, dwelt on mere denials and technicalities which he claimed were not material or fatal to the case under prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>However, the defendants pleaded not guilty as the charges when the case came up for hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Their counsel, Isaac Ekpa, in his final written addresses, said the prosecution had not proven its case beyond reasonable doubt to warrant the conviction of the defendants.<\/p>\n<p>In his ruling on Monday, Justice Seidu said the prosecution had proved its case beyond all reasonable doubts, noting that \u201cdenying the commission of offense did not amount to not committing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The trial judge added that the burden of proof rested on the defense counsel which he failed to achieve in the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have full satisfaction with the evidence adduced by the prosecution. The prosecution has presented its case beyond reasonable doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe five defendants (1,2,3,4,6) have been found guilty of criminal conspiracy, mischief by fire and culpable homicide punishable with death, contrary to sections 97(1) , 337 and 221 of the Kogi State penal code, and therefore sentences them to death by hanging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Justice Seidu has discharged and acquitted the two other accused persons in the case \u2013 Yakubu Ikoja and Abdulmumuni Sale, the 5th and 7th respondents \u2013 for the inability of the plaintiff\u2019s counsel to prove his case against them beyond doubt.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution counsel said efforts are being intensified to arrest other suspects said to be on the run.<\/p>\n<p>He said David Adoyi Abah, Tahir Abdul, Solomon Odawn Ogbo, Jibrin Okpanachi, Farouk Okpanachi and Francis Bala Abonny, who were at large, would be arrested and made to face the law<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A perennial feud between two ruling family houses in Akwu community in Akpa local government over the right to produce the village head snowballed into a violent clash on January 29th, 2020 In Kogi State, five accused persons will die by hanging for killing three people amid tussle for the ascension to a traditional seat.
