In a judgment on Thursday, Justice Olabisi Akinlade of the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere, found the accused guilty as charged.
The judge held that the circumstantial evidence brought by the state in proof of the six counts of conspiracy, murder and stealing against the accused persons were cogent, complete, unequivocal and compelling.
