The ongoing trial of the five suspected armed robbers that robbed a bank in Offa, Kwara State, on April 5, 2018, yesterday continued at the state High Court in Ilorin, as the court refused a post-mortem analysis on the corpse of late principal suspect, Michael Adikwu, in the bank robbery incident.
The first, second and third accused persons had at the last adjourned date accused the police of shooting them on the legs to instill fear in them before extracting statement from them. “I also ask for an order to carry out autopsy on the death of Adikwu, the principal suspect, in order to find corroboration to evidence of especially the fifth accused person as well as all the other three persons.
“The name Michael Adikwu was repeated consistently by all the four accused persons in this trial within trial, and I think it will be in the interest of justice for the accused persons to put in a proper defence to get the result of that medical examination.” “For the record, this is a trial within trial specifically to determine the voluntariness of the statements of the accused persons.
Having listened to both parties, presiding judge, Justice Halima Salman, took a short break of proceeding before delivering her ruling.
The kind of lives taken by the government and their influence for their political gain is really alarming. How can we just be watching?
