In conclusion, based on the credible evidence of the
prosecution witnesses testimonies and the exhibits before the
Court, I believe the case of the prosecution and disbelieved
that of the defence and I hold the view that the prosecution
has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against the 1st
and 2nd Defendants for the offence on count one and also the
offence of conferring corrupt advantage upon relations and
associates contrary to section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and
Other Related Offences Act against the 1st Defendant.
Accordingly the 1st and 2nd Defendants are hereby convicted for
the offence on count one as charged and the 1st Defendant
convicted for the offence of conferring corrupt advantage
contrary to section 19 of the Act as charged.
