Upon arraignment, Adefemiwa pleaded guilty to the charge.

In view of defendant’s plea, prosecution counsel, S.H. Sa’ad prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant in line with Section 311 of the Penal Code Law. However, defence counsel, Shamsu A. Dauda, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, as his client was a first time offender who has become remorseful. He also told the court that the defendant has restituted the victim the sum of N230, 000.00 he fraudulently collected from him.
