was the one who dropped from the motorcycle first…and thereafter brought out a cutlass and demanded us to release our handsets as well as threatened to kill whoever refused to comply. One of us in person of Mas’ud gave him his white Vivo handset. Then one of us in person of Fahad jumped over and got hold of the 1st Defendant. Then the 3rd Defendant dropped from the motorcycle with an intention to cut Fahad. So on seeing that, I rushed to save Fahad and got hold of the 3rd Defendant, and in the process, the 3rd Defendant inflicted matchet cut on my right hand shoulder with a cutlass.” As earlier stated in this judgment, the evidence of 1st Defendant as DW1 in his oral evidence before this court, has substantially corroborated the evidence of PW4 quoted above. Thus, from the evidence of PW4 which was substantially corroborated by the oral evidence of the 1st Defendant as DW1 and confirmed by the 2nd Defendant as DW2, it has become apparently clear that on the 20/12/2018 at about 2245 hrs, the 3rd Defendant while armed with a cutlass, attacked PW4 at Sama Road Sokoto while the said PW4 was in company of others, violently dispossessed one Mas’ud of his white Vivo handset and inflicted matchet cut on the right hand shoulder of one Babangida Aliyu (PW4) in the process. Consequently, it is the humble view of this Court that the evidence of PW4 which gave the graphic details of what happened on the date of the robbery incident, has substantially proved all the essential elements of the offence of robbery against the 3 Defendants.
