The Appellants along with two others, were jointly charged,
convicted and sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment for robbery in the District
Court. Aggrieved the Appellants unsuccessfully appeal to the High Court, hence,
this appeal. During the trial the police officer who went to seize the
properties was not called to testify. Also it was not shown how the exhibits
were handled from the day of seizure to the date they were tendered in court as
exhibits. Moreover, after the close of the prosecution case, the trial court
did not address the 2nd Appellant on his right of giving his
defence.
