According to the charge, the convicts and one other now at large robbed one Odo Charity and her household of the sum of ₦40,000 at gunpoint and attempted to murder Ugwe Ebuka by macheting him at Ekute, Ado Ekiti.

The first convict was overpowered by good samaritans in the neighbourhood whilst the other gang members ran away.

The prosecution team led by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Julius Ajibare, called four witnesses and tendered five exhibits to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
