Presiding over the case, Justice Haleemah Salman declared that the offences committed were punishable by death.

The robbery, which occurred in April 2018, saw a gang of audacious criminals storm Offa town in Kwara State, targeting at least five commercial banks.

It was a brutal attack which resulted in the deaths of numerous individuals, including nine police officers, and the theft of an undisclosed amount of money.
