court that there was an attempt by the police to re-arrest the Defendant but he stabbed the police officer with knife and ran away. The prosecution’s counsel adopted her final written address dated 19/4/18 and filed on the 20/4/18 wherein learned counsel formulated two issues for determination to wit: 1. Whether the prosecution has proved the essential elements of each of the counts of offences alleged against the Defendant beyond reasonable doubt to warrant his being found guilty and consequently convicted. 2. Whether the statements were confessional statements that will warrant the court to convict the Defendant without any corroborative evidence. On Issue one, it is the submission that to prove a charge of conspiracy between the accused person, it is not a requirement of the law that there should be direct communication between the conspirators, all that needs to be established is that the criminal intent alleged is common to the conspirator which is quite visible in this case. It is also the submission that conspiracy is one of those offences which can be predicated on circumstantial evidence which is evidence not of the fact in issue but of other facts from which the fact in issue can be inferred. Further submitted that conspiracy does not consist merely in the intention of two or more but in the agreement of two or more to do an unlawful act, or to do a lawful act by unlawful means. 7
