agreement with the prosecuting counsel that all the 3 defendants are involved in the conspiracy to abduct PW3. I so hold. I also hold that the prosecution has proved the offence of criminal conspiracy contrary to section 97(1) of the penal code law Cap. 104 laws of Sokoto State 1996 and found all the 3 defendants guilty as charged. As to the 2nd charge of abduction, the prosecution by the provisions of section 272 of the said penal code law, is required to show that someone was by force compel to move from any place, or by deceit induced to move from any place by the defendant in question before the offence can be said to have been proved beyond reasonable doubt by the prosecution against the defendant. From the earlier quoted portion of the evidence of PW3 referred to in this judgment, it is very clear that PW3 was forcefully moved from the verander of their house to a bush at the outskirt of Kebbe Town where she was rescued as disclosed by the evidence of PW4, PW5, PW3 and the contents of the Exhibit E1, respectively. Furthermore, the evidence of PW4 and PW5 when considered together with the contents of Exhibit E1, one will find no difficult in drawing conclusion that it was the 3 defendants who abducted PW3 on the date of the incident. This is because while 1st and 2nd defendants were identified by PW4 and PW5 at the scene of the crime where the victim was rescued, 3rd defendant confessed to their joint involvement in the commission of the offence of abduction against PW3 in his confessional statement which was admitted in evidence as exhibit E1. 26
