<p><strong>Justice Yetunde Adesanya of a Lagos High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square, on Wednesday sentenced two men, <a href="https://openlife.ng">Ahmed Musa</a> and Oluwole Sunday, to 14 years imprisonment each, for robbery.</strong></p>
<p>The convicts were convicted and sentenced after they pleaded guilty under a plea bargain agreement.</p>
<p>Musa and Sunday were initially arraigned on Feb. 15, 2018, before the court on a six-count charge bordering on conspiracy to commit robbery and armed robbery.</p>
<p>They had pleaded not guilty, and were remanded.</p>
<p>Their trial began on May 30, 2018. They later entered into a plea bargain agreement with prosecution.</p>

<p>In her judgment, Adesanya held that the sentence was in line with Section 76 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State, 2011.</p>
<p>“The court has ascertained from the defendants that they entered into the plea bargain agreement on their own free volition, free from any coercion.</p>
<p>“I have observed that the prosecution and the defence agreed on the 14-year term,” she said.</p>
<p>The judge, however, held that the court was not bound by the terms of the agreement, but had the power to increase or reduce the sentence term.</p>
<p>“The defendants pleaded guilty to a further amended charge of robbery punishable under Section 297 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.</p>
<p>“The defendants are fully competent to answer to their plea, they understand the charge and that the court was not bound to the plea bargain.</p>
<p>“Ahmed Musa, Oluwole Sunday, in view of your plea, I hereby convict you as charged.</p>
<p>“You are both sentenced to 14 years’ imprisonment each, starting from Oct. 14, 2016,” the judge held.</p>
