According to the charge before the court, the convicts conspired and kidnapped one Usman Mohammed while armed with two single barrel guns at Osi, Ekiti local government area of the state.

The Director of Public Prosecution, Barrister Abdulmumini Adebimpe Jimoh (SAN), who prosecuted the matter, expressed satisfaction over the judge’s verdict saying it will serve as a deterrent to others who may want to indulge in such act.
