Delivering judgment in the matter yesterday, Justice Oshodi held that the defendants, particularly the first defendant, showed no remorse in the course of the trial.

“The first defendant tried to buy his way out of the court. This is why the defendants must be taught a lesson to serve as deterrence to others,” he held.
