marked as exhibits B, B1, C, C1, D and D1 respectively which was
further substantiated by exhibits A and A1 which are the iron rods.
From the evidence of PW2, the statements of the defendants admitted as
exhibits B, B1, C, C1, D, D1 and the 2 iron rods marked as exhibits A and
A1, it has become very obvious that a robbery incident did actually
occurred against PW2 by the defendants during which they carted away
with his motorcycle after beating him with iron rods to a state of
unconsciousness. I therefore agree with the prosecuting counsel that the
prosecution has proved all the elements of the offence of robbery against
the defendants beyond reasonable doubt as required by law and found
the defendants guilty as charged.
Having earlier held that the prosecution has proved all the elements of
the three {3} offences with which the defendants were arraigned before
this Honourable Court, it automatically follows that the prosecution has
proved its case beyond reasonable doubt as required by law.

- Ikaria V. State {2013} 8NCC248
- Alabi V. State{1993}7NWLR pt 307 p 511
Consequently upon the foregoing, I resolve the sole issue formulated in
favour of the prosecution and against the defendants
Accordingly the prosecution having proved its case beyond reasonable
doubt against the defendants in respect of the offences of criminal
conspiracy, causing grievous hurt and robbery contrary to sections 97,
248(2) and 298 (c) of the penal code, with which the defendants were
arraigned before this court, I hereby find you (1)Abdulmuminu Yusuf
