The real question is did police apply best practices in investigation and prosecution?

All the evidence the police alleged need to prosecute the case is on social media, they have no surprises to pull in court, why won't they argue not guilty.

Instead of acquiring rock solid evidence, preserve it and deposit it in court, they will push/interrogate/torture you for confession and then present you to social media, so that you will know that they are working.

A smart lawyer, who knows his onions, will simply enter court and beat the prosecution. By the time they are done, the police always look stupid at the end of the day....
Yeah all you stated are on point. Police and their torture and poor tactics won't win good cases in court. That is why I said they need to improve their prosecution and legal team

[quote author=Ritzy10 post=73434005]The Suspected five armed robbers allegedly involved in the April 5, 2018 deadly bank robbery in Offa town Kwara state have all pleaded not guilty to the five-count charges preferred against them at the state High Court, Ilorin.

When the matter came up for further mention on Friday, the accused persons, Ayoade Akinibosun, Ademola Abraham, Ibikunle Ogunleye, Niyi Ogundiran and Salahu Azeez, were represented by Mathias Emeribe, as the only defence counsel.

The five-count charges preferred against the five suspects included conspiracy to commit robbery of five banks while armed with dangerous weapons and explosives, contrary to 2004 Criminal Law 1 subsection 2.

Also, the five accused persons were accused of committing armed robbery on five commercial banks while armed with dangerous weapons and explosives.

Others include alleged murder of nine police officers, including three female police officers and many unnamed residents of the ancient town of Offa during deadly armed robbery attack on five banks on April 5, 2018.

Also, they were charged with culpable homicide of nine police officers and many other innocent people during the deadly bank robbery, an offence punishable with death.

The suspects were also accused of being in possession of illegal firearms, including two AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons.

All the five suspects, who pleaded not guilty to all the five count charges preferred against them, also said that they were not in Offa town on the day of the armed robbery.

All the accused persons also said that they did not conspire with anyone to rob the banks or had any intention to kill anyone, adding that they had never held firearms.

Earlier the court had struck out the name of the first accused person, Michael Adikwu, said to have died in police custody, from the case after the prosecution, and the state Attorney General, Kamaldeen Ajibade, filed an application to amend the charge.

The highlight of Friday’s proceedings was the absence of compact disc, containing confessional video evidence, which the defence counsel said he was yet to lay his hands on.

Also, the prosecution said that he was not in possession of the disc, explaining that it was still in Police headquarters, Abuja, and yet to be released to him.

The presiding judge, Halima Salman, therefore, adjourned the matter till January

I SEE DEATH SENTENCES AWAITING THIS ARMED ROBBERS BY THE COURT.

They not only rob several banks but killed over 30 persons including pregnant woman and police men stationed at the bank in Offa and at the police station.

Already one of the factional leader who was arrested for the robbery and was kept under police custody, who is a dismissed police officer by name Michael Adikwu is already dead.

The police reported that Michael Adikwu slumped and died.

Many onlooker believed that Michael Adikwu may have be killed secretly by the Nigeria police given the gravity of his offence and may be to cover up some information about the extent of the criminality.

We are keeping our fingers cross to follow development.

Just imagine the kind of country we live in. Suspect died and the judge did not ask for explanations or evidence of his death and his name has been struck out just like that! also one of the key evidence is missing while the same suspects have pleaded not guilty na waoo.
I doubt if any Nigerian official will be found in heaven even if its by mistake. angry

and you still believe in this country? what a shame. Remember that many of kwara state officials were indicted and implicated in the robbery case. Even a SSA to the governor was said to have bought the car used and hide the car in government house after the operation before the bubble burst . Up until now, police just arrested him and his other officials, they never charge them to court, and probably they might have been released for "lack of evidence". And where is the money recovered? police never told us any money recovered but just parade. That money is possibly robbed to fund some politician re election bid and the "boys" are just used to gather the money.Hope you are adding 2+2 together to make 2. Now they are seriously fighting the case to be transferred to kwara state so that they can eventually kill the case. Only God knows how much have exchanged hands in this indictment, only God knows. who ever is playing politics with this case and making money from it illegally, may the spirit of those who killed in the robbery hunt them and their families.
If you believe this country, as it stands, can ever get better, you are wasting your time.
My friend come on stop ranting joor, what if I told you that the ig of police and these criminals made a deal to implicate Saraki and be set free nko, hence why police hq Abuja is still holding unto the video evidence and refusal to hand it over to the prosecutor. I guess you didn't even read the story. mtcheew

Defense counsel might be claiming that the confessional statement was obtained under coaxed interrogation so the only way police can disprove that is to tender the video which we all know might implicate the police

The Police Force is the undoing of itself. They have a water tight case laced with concrete evidence but because they are looking for Saraki to hook down, they kept the prime suspect that confesses to be supplying them lethal weapon for unlawful operation. May God save ordinary citizen in this country. But come to think of it, the ordinary citizen also cause the undoing for themselves.

Oga, governorship has immunity. That's why EFCC could not take Fayose to court untill his tenure was over. If Ganduje loses the election, he would be investigated by EFCC. That's why he wants to win at all cost to buy himself a lot of time untill then.

Let the immunity clause be removed first
What immunity?
It's only in Nigeria you hear so called educated and learned persons talking immunity and interpreting it wrongly.
It's only in Nigeria where non existent would be legal words are concocted to suit the desires of evil doers.

If one has proof that a sitting governor murders someone, then you'll have to wait till he vacates office because there's an immunity clause; hehehehe..........
We are only deceiving ourselves

After talking to lawyers, these criminals like Evans change their word and now plead not guilty? Geez, we saw these morrafuckas on CCTV. Police better strengthen their prosecution and legal team so they can get criminals like these to death penalty

Death Penalty to evil kidnappers like Evans
Death Penalty to murderous armed robbers like Ayo Akinbosun and Michael Adikwu
Death Penalty to ritualists like the bastards that killed Zino in Delta state
Death Penalty to murderous spouses

Justice for all.
but unfortunately there is no justice in the zoo
