IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE F.C.T. IN THE ABUJA JUDICIAL DIVISION HOLDEN AT KUBWA, ABUJA ON THURSDAY, THE 11TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2018 BEFORE HIS LORDSHIP: HON. JUSTICE K. N. OGBONNAYA JUDGE SUIT NO.: FCT/HC/CR/161/2016 BETWEEN: THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA COMPLAINANT AND NKECHI CAROLINE AMADI (ALIAS ONYEMACHI UCHECHI) DEFENDANT SENTENCE On the 14/11/17 Nkechi Caroline Amadi pleaded guilty to all the three-Count Charge of cheating read to her upon her arraignment. This Court convicted her accordingly on all the three Counts. The parties explored and entered into Plea Bargaining Agreement which has recently become part of our jurisprudence since 2015 when the Administration of Criminal Justice Act came into being. The parties reduced the terms of the Plea Bargaining Agreement into writing. They signed same, filed it in Court and presented it to this Court. This Court acknowledged the receipt of the said Plea Bargaining Agreement and took judicial notice of it. It is important to note that Plea Bargaining Agreement does not stand as sentence. It does not equally mean that a convict cannot be sentenced. That means that it does not take the place of sentence. JUDGMENT IN FRN VS. NKECHI CAROLINE AMADI Page 3
