judicial to do so, then the trial court has the adjudicatory powers to exercise the discretion. - Musa V. State (2012) 3 NWLR 50. - Amoshina V. State (2011) 14 NWLR pt 1268 p 50. I have also taken into consideration in passing this sentence of the provision of section 415(2) (d) and (e) of the ACJL of Sokoto State 2019 which requires a trial court not to pass the maximum sentence provided for an offence against first offender as well as the need of a trial court to take into consideration the period spent in detention by the convict while undergoing trial in computing the sentence. In sentencing the convicts, I have also taken into consideration the provision of subparagraph (2) (K) of section 415 of the ACJL of Sokoto State 2019 which provided that sentencing to a term of imprisonment shall apply but only to those offenders who should be isolated from society and those whom other forms of punishment have failed or is likely to fail. In consideration of all the foregoing, the sentence of this court upon you (1) Muazu Modi (2) Ali Usman and (3) Abu Ali for the offences of causing death when the intention is to cause hurt punishable under section 195 of the Sokoto state penal code law 2019 and criminal conspiracy punishable under section 60 of the same law is an option of fine of N200,000 each and N50,000 each for the said offences respectively or five {5} years and two {2} respectively in default. The sentences are to run concurrently and with effect from the date the convicts were first remanded at the correctional center. Page 10 of 11
