In the Prosecution’s final written address adopted by Elizabeth Alabi Esq, the following three issues for determination were formulated: 1. Whether the Prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. 2. Whether the Prosecution has proved the offence of conspiracy against the Defendant beyond reasonable doubt. 3. Whether the Prosecution has proved the offence of obtaining under false pretence against the Defendant beyond reasonable doubt. The three issues raised by the Prosecution in this case presents classical case of proliferation of issues. Issue 1 as raised by the Prosecution is simply adequate to determine this case, since the Prosecution’s case is formed up of the two count charge for the offences of conspiracy and obtaining by false pretence. The issue of whether the Prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt therefore, invariably entails whether they have proved beyond reasonable dount the two offences contained in the charge which the Prosecution had made to be the second and third issues, respectively. I shall therefore proceed to determine this case on issue 1 raise by the Prosecution, namely – Whether the Prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against the Defendant. 5
