"The uncontroverted evidence before the court is that the Appellant and the two other convicts , each armed with the rifle officially assigned to him for his official duties as a police officer agreed to go and rob the victims of their money.

In the course of their criminal adventure and in an apparent bid to overcome resistance or prevent escape one of them shot and killed one of the victims of the robbery, Mamodu Abdullahi Ajawo.

In the same escapade and for the purpose of achieving their self same common end, one of them shot into the vehicle. The shot hit a jerry can of petrol and ignited a fire which burnt down the vehicle and four persons in it to death"-

"This case represents the height of man's inhumanity to man. The Appellant and his co-accused police constables employed by the nation to protect the lives and properties of its citizenry embarked on this unlawful mission and in their brazen brutality

terminated the lives of these five innocent and defenceless victims, with unimaginable damages to their loved ones and families back at their various homes.

The case demonstrates the regrettable reality that the numerous police check points along our highways only give the citizenry a false sense of security". Excerpts from Oyakhire v. The State (2006) 15 NWLR (Pt.1000) 157.

This is one of the cases that sends shivers down my spine. The Appellant and his confederates were police officers. They robbed and murdered their victims.

They set the bus ablaze to complete the wreckage!
