In the light of all the foregoing, it is the humble view of this
court that the prosecution has proved all the elements of the
offences with which the defendants were arraigned, that is
criminal conspiracy, abduction and illegal possession of
firearms contrary to sections 97 (1), 273 of the penal code
law Cap. 104 Laws of Sokoto State 1996 and section 3 (1) of
the Robbery and Firearms {special provisions} Act Cap. R 11
LFN 2004 respectively.
It is trite law that where the prosecution has proved all the
elements of the offences with which the defendants are
charged, then the prosecution has proved its case beyond
reasonable doubt.
