On the 28th day of March, 2014 the trial Judge, O.A. Onafowokan J. found the Appellant guilty. The Appellant lodged an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Ibadan which also confirmed the decision of the trial Court leading to further appeal to this Court.

The evidence linking the Appellant to the robbery apart from the fact that he was allegedly recognised by PW.1 as leader of the gang that robbed her on that day of the incident was the Appellant's confessional statement. In his judgement delivered on 28th March, 2013, the trial Court held that the prosecution was unable to prove the offence of armed robbery charged against the Appellant but however succeeded in proving the offence of robbery against him and consequently convicted and sentenced him. The Appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal in Ibadan. In its judgement, the Court of Appeal dismissed the Appeal and upheld the conviction and sentence of the trial Court. Still being dissatisfied, the Appellant lodged further appeal to this Court vide a Notice of Appeal dated 24th March, 2016.
