Defendant:
Yes I understand.
Court:
Are you guilty or not guilty?
Defendant:
I am guilty.
Y.K. Saidu Esq: The defendant has approached the prosecution for a
plea bargain agreement which the prosecution has
accepted
the
plea
bargain
agreement
and
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
23/1/2024. We have an application for substitution
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
agreement and we have no objection to the
substitution of N115,000 with N216,000 as
contained in paragraph 1 because it is in fact a
typhogorical error.
