- Salawu V. State (2016) 12 NCC 1. - Abacha V. State (2002) 11 NWLR pt. 779 p. 437. - Obiakor V. State (2002) 10 NWLR pt. 776 p. 612. From both Exhibits D, D1 and E and E1 which are the Hausa and English translated versions of the 1st and 2nd defendants’ statements made on the 3/6/2019, it is very clear that the defendants agreed between themselves to go out on the night of 1/6/2019 to steal. As earlier quoted in this Judgment, the 1st defendant stated in his statement admitted in evidence as Exhibit D and D1 for Hausa and English translated versions respectively as follows:“On 1/6/2019 at about 0000hrs, I and my friend by name Abubakar Mustapha plan that we will go out to steal.” Corroborating the foregoing, the 2nd defendant in his statement admitted as Exhibit E and E1 for Hausa and English translated versions respectively, also stated as follows:“On the 1/6/2019 at about 00000hrs, I and my friend Mustapha Muhammed ‘M’ of same address, we agreed to go and steal at that night where we stopped one Okada man with plan to snatch it.” It is trite law that in a charge of conspiracy, all that is necessary, is evidence of agreement to commit an offence, and in the absence of an apparent agreement, evidence of same community efforts on the part of all the accused persons aimed at committing a crime, and once either of these two is established, it will be safe to convict for the offence of Criminal Conspiracy.
