have already filed our written address in respect of the no
case submission on the 19/5/2023 and we are ready to adopt
same.
M.G. Gidan Madi Esq: It is true that we have been served with the
written address of the defendants on no case submission and
equally respondent as we filed our prosecution’s reply to the
no case submission filed by the defendants’ counsel. We are
also ready to adopt same.
