The three convicts were accused of conspiring and unlawfully converting 298,550 stocks of a deceased man, the late Joseph Adeyemi, valued at N34m.
They were also said to have unlawfully retained the aggregate of the sum of N9.481m, in their bank account. At the resumed hearing of the case on Wednesday, the convicts’ lawyers, O Muyideen and A. Olufemi, in their plea for leniency, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy in sentencing the convicts, by considering that they have been in the detention since 2018 when they were first arrested.Kindly share this story:
