Judgement delivered on January 30th 2015
Brief
Facts
The appellant was arraigned and tried along with four others on a sixteen count amended charge dated 25th July, 2013 at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, Coram Ademola J. While the others were discharged and acquitted on all the counts at the end of the trial, the appellant on the other hand was convicted and sentenced on the 7th and 9th counts of the amended charge.
Dissatisfied, Mr. Roda appealed against the trial court's decision to the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, hereinafter referred to as the court below, on a Notice filed on 9th December, 2013 containing seven grounds. In allowing the appeal in part, the court below quashed the trial court's conviction and sentence of the appellant in respect of the 7th count but affirmed his conviction and sentence on the 9th count.
Still aggrieved, the appellant has further appealed to this Court
