The prosecution counsel, Felix Awoniyi, called seven witnesses while the defendant, through his counsel, Chris Omakhafe called three witnesses.

Delivering judgment, Justice John Adeyeye, held that reasonable doubt is a legal standard of proof required to validate a criminal conviction.

”The law is settled, that any lingering doubt must be resolved in favour of the accused. It cannot therefore be said that the prosecution has proved all the ingredients of the offence of murder against the defendant.

”In the light of the above and for all, the defendant is hereby acquitted and discharged,” he said.
