Counsel to the convicts A.O Oluwole  pleaded with the Judge to temper justice with mercy.

Justice Akano found them guilty on two counts preferred against them and sentenced them accordingly as count one (1) conspiracy attracts fourteen years imprisonment  for each of them  and sentenced them to death by hanging for murder.
