Offa Bank Robbery: Suspects Plead Not Guilty

Offa Bank Robbery Case Continues

A new development has been recorded in the court case on the  Offa bank robbery case as the court resumed hearing in Kwara State on Friday.

The death of the principal suspect in the deadly April 5 bank robbery in Offa, Kwara State, is highly contentious. That he died in police custody is even more suspicious, perhaps he was willing to divulge too much.

Following the death of Michael Adikwu, principal suspect in the robbery case, prosecution counsel sought for the amendment of the charge sheet and it was granted.

Naija News learnt that the defense counsel, pleaded with the court not to take the pleas of the suspects today since he has not discussed with them but his plea was denied.

All the suspects have pleaded not guilty to count 1 charge of conspiracy to rob banks in offa and the second charge of robbery of banks in Offa with firearms.
