The Court of Appeal, sitting in Akure, Ondo State has slammed a life jail on one Abdullah Bilawu Oloyede and two of his sons over attempted murder of an Iwo High Chief.

Oloyede and his two sons, Musa Bilawu and Waidi Bilawu respectively, were also handed 14 years imprisonment for conspiracy. The jail terms are to run concurrently.

In a unanimous ruling, the appellate court dismissed the judgment of an Osun State High Court, sitting in Iwo, which had acquitted the accused persons, in suit No. HIW/2C/2017, stating that there were sufficient evidence confirming an attempt to murder High Chief Lamidi and two others. But dissatisfied by the judgment, State Counsel, Idrees Abiodun Mikaheel Esq, had gone to the appellate court for a redress.

In the Appeal No. CA/AK/192CB/2018, the appellate court held, “There was abundant evidence that suggests that the respondent conspired with others to commit the crimes for which he is charged, that is conspiracy and attempted murder.
