Ex-nurtw Boss, Auxiliary, Jailed Six Years by tupez(m): 10:05am On Jul 19, 2016 |
A former Acting Chairman of the Oyo State
chapter of National Union of Road
Transport Workers, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi,
popularly called Auxiliary, was on Monday
sentenced to six years imprisonment for
conspiracy to murder.
Auxiliary was sentenced by Justice Eni Esan
of the Oyo State High Court sitting in
Ibadan. Also jailed were Saidi Kareem, Abu
Kareem and Kazeem Kayode.
The fifth accused person, Taiwo Tijani, who
was standing trial with the jailed persons,
is already dead.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Esan noted
that Auxiliary and others were sentenced
because of conspiracy to murder even
though they were also tried for murder.
The judge ruled that the prosecuting
counsel failed in his attempt to convince
the court beyond reasonable doubt over the
allegations of murder and attempted
murder.
Counsel for the sentenced NURTW
members, Mr. Olalekan Ojo and Adeleke
Bakare, begged the judge for lighter
sentence and to consider the status of
Auxiliary and others as breadwinners in
their various families with aged parents and
other dependents.
Ojo noted that they had already been
punished having spent two years in jail
since the trial began.
Justice Esan clarified that the two years
they had spent in jail would be removed
from their six-year jail term without any
option of fine.
Ojo and Bakare however said that the
ruling would be contested at the Appeal
Court.
In 2014, the Lagos Police Command
paraded auxiliary for illegal possession of
guns.
He was arrested by the command’s Special
Anti- Robbery Squad, led by Aba Kyari at
the Olodo area of Ibadan on May 10, 2014
after an incriminating statement made by
an illegal arms dealer, Abdulazeez Amao,
who was arrested with arms hidden in bags
of flour. |
