Court strikes out robbery charge for lack of diligent prosecution - Vanguard News

The defendants: Ali, 29, a labourer; Ibrahim, 32, unemployed; and Abdullahi, 25, commercial motorcyclist, were in 2012 brought by the police before Mrs M. O. Ope-Agbe of an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.

However, the DPP’s legal advice recommended that the trio be tried and the case transferred to the high court where the defendants were arraigned before Justice Nicol-Clay in July 2013. The police told the court that on Sept. 6, 2012, at 4.50p.m, at 404 Close, Banana Island, Ikoyi, Lagos, the defendants robbed one Mr Adeshina Oyeniran.
