In the Wfitten Address, learned counsel to the Defendant
contended rthat the prosecution has failed
reasonable doubt against the Defendant
becausq
to prove its case beyond
to warrant his
conviction
it failed to Fove the essential elements of the alleged
offence bqrond reasonable doubt. He relied on STATE v. ISIAKTI
(2013) T,PELR-20szt(sc)
& AwosrKA v. srATE (2010) 9
NWLR (P't. 1193) 49 at 72. It was argued that the prosecution has
failed to bstablish the ingredients of the offence
'
of fraudulent
impersonation for which the Defendant stands charged. Reliance was
placed on the case of SUININER v. FRN (2011) LPELR-53404 (PP.
12-14, parns. D-B) on the elements of the said offence.
