In his judgement, the judge, Justice Adeyemi Fasanmi, held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and that there was direct evidence that linked the convict to the crime scene and was responsible for the death of the deceased.

He ruled, “It is my finding that the defendant caused the deceased’s death by shooting him with a gun at a close range, which subsequently led to his death. The deceased was also seen fleeing the place of the crime.
