the defendant filed the final written address on
3/3/2022. The defendant has raised 2 issues for
determination and proffered extensive argument to
substantiate that the prosecution has failed to prove
all the elements of the offence on the charge against
the defendant. We adopt the said final address and
urge this court to uphold the validity of our argument
and deliver a judgment discharging and acquitting the
defendant.
S.H. Buhari Esq: The prosecution has been served with the defendant’s
written address in respect of this case, but we decided
not to file any reply but in the final analysis we urge
this court to convict and sentence the defendant as
charged, prosecutions having proved its case beyond
reasonable doubt.
