and relations. The offences upon which the 2nd
convict is convicted have option of fine. We
passionately plead that the 2nd convict be given an
option of fine.
Ajeh: -
On behalf of the 3rd convict, I appreciate the
energy put in by this Honourable Court. As a plea
of allocutus, I plead that the Court to show mercy
on the 3rd convict in the course of the sentencing.
The 3rd convict is a young man with a wife and
kids whom depend on him for their livelihood in
addition to his parents. I also want the Court to
take note of the 3rd convict’s conduct in the course
of investigation and trial which conduct has been
very remorseful. The 3rd convict was the one that
assisted in the arrest of the 1st convict while the
matter was with the Police at Zone 7 before
transferring to Economic and Financial Crime
Commission. The 3rd convict fully restituted the
nominal complainant of the agency fee he was
paid based on their understanding of plots ED3
and ED4. The 3rd convict while the matter is
pending, provided to PW1 an alternative plot in
resolution of the dispute. This fact was
communicated to the Economic and Financial
Crime Commission and the Honourable Court by
the nominal complainant himself. The 3rd convict
has no criminal record and I urge the Court to
sentence the 3rd convict by giving him an option of
fine.
Abdallah: -
We have no records of previous conviction of the
convicts and the convicts have fully restituted the
victim. I also apply that the Court to defer
sentencing of the 1st convict until we got him
arrested.
