The accused were charged with five counts which include armed robbery, conspiracy, illegal possession of firearms and culpable homicide.

Delivering his judgment, Justice Peter Kekemeke discharged and acquitted Nnerun for lack of evidence by the prosecutor, which is the Nigerian Police, but convicted Echanu and sentenced him to death by hanging as his counsel failed to prove his innocence before the court.
