of the offense after considering his participation in an event that occurred on August 16, 2020 around the NUJ location of the Lokoja metropolis.During the trial, the district attorney called three witnesses and tendered seven shows to prove that the accused dedicated the offense. A few of the displays consisted of the offender’s confessional statement, a coroner’s report, and a police postmortem assessment report dated August 19, 2020. The court held that the specified evidence of circumstances made it possible that the statement

made by the defendant and included in Exhibit P1 was” genuinely confessional “. Providing judgment, Justice Majebi ruled that the convict must pass away by hanging.

“Premised on the above findings, I hold that the prosecution has shown all the components of the charge versus the offender and thus raising the presumption of guilt against him in respect of the charge.That you, Dare Murtala, is hereby sentenced to death for the offence of culpable murder

for which you are convicted. The sentence of this court upon you is that you will be hanged by the neck till you be dead, and might the Lord have mercy upon your soul”. the judge said. ToriNG
