The convicts – Oluwasuyi Philip (36), Dosumu Ayodele (37) and Oyewusi Temitope (32) – were imprisoned for conspiracy and stealing of Ekiti State government’s property.

In his judgement, Justice Adekunle Adeleye said: “On the whole, I found that the prosecution established the facts in evidence to contain the ingredients needed to be proven to establish the offences of conspiracy and stealing.

“On counts 1 and 2, which are conspiracy and stealing, each of the accused persons is sentenced to seven years imprisonment on each of the counts.

“And the sentences are to run concurrently. This will serve as a deterrent to those who are in the habit of stealing the government’s property.”

To prove his case, the prosecutor called two witnesses while the statements of the accused and six kegs of 50 litres of diesel oil among others were tendered as exhibits.

Counsel to the convicts, Tosin Osundahunsi promised to study the judgement and subsequently appeal the verdict.
