consequently agreed that the defendant shall
restitute the victim the sum of N216,000 in 3
installments and be sentenced to a fine of N20,000
or 1 year imprisonment in default. We have reduced
the agreement into writing and filed same on the

of N115,000 with N216,000 as reflected in
paragraph 1 of the terms of plea bargain agreement
because it was a typhogorical error;
M.J. Audu Esq: That is the true position of the plea bargain

substitution of N115,000 with N216,000 as
contained in paragraph 1 because it is in fact a
typhogorical error.
