An Ibadan High Court on Friday sentenced one Saheed Sogaji, 28, to 21 years imprisonment for conspiring and robbing a man of a motorcycle.
Justice Bolaji Yusuf said that the prosecutor had been able to proof the charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt.
He sentenced Sogaji to seven years imprisonment for conspiracy and 14 years for robbery.
The judge said that the sentences were without option, adding that the sentences would commence from the day Sogaji was put in custody.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Titilayo Dairo, told the court that Sogaji and others faced two-count charge of conspiracy and robbery.
She said that Sogaji and his colleagues now at large, conspired to rob one Kehinde Isiaka of his Bajaj motorcycle with registration number LUY 080 OA, on March 26, 2012 at Odo-Ona Elewe in Ibadan.
The prosecutor said that the offences contravened Sections 516 and 401 of the Criminal Code Cap 38 Vol. II Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria 2000.
Sogaji had, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Defense Counsel, Mr Fola Awoyemi, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy with his client.
Awoyemi said that Sogaji, from Cotonu, had been in prison custody since March 26, 2012, adding that he had also lost his parents.
