A Lagos State High Court sitting in the Tafawa Balewa Square area of the state, on Tuesday, sentenced a man, Temitope Olowo, to 14 years imprisonment for attempted robbery in the state.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya handed down the verdict to the convict, who was sentenced on one count amended charge of attempted robbery after a plea bargain application was made.Olowo was first arraigned on November 9, 2018, on three-count bordering on arm robbery but he pleaded not guilty. The trial commenced and the prosecution counsel, Olayemi Shofolu, called two witnesses.

But the defendant, through his counsel, J. I. Osagede, filed for a plea bargain agreement and the charge was amended. When the case came up for hearing on Tuesday, the prosecution counsel notified the court about the one-count amended charge.
