Armed robbers seek plea bargain

Three suspected robbers, Abolaji Kehinde, Tunde Jamiu and Uche John, accused of conspiracy and armed robbery have sought for plea bargain.

An Ikeja High Court on Monday reserved until November 8 to hear the plea bargain of the accused.

Plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and the accused.

The Defence Counsel, Mrs. Uche Onoha, told the court that the first defendant died while in custody.

Ogala, however, advised the prosecution to tidy up the processes before the commencement of trial.
