After hearing prosecution and defence counsel, the court said, “I am of the opinion that prosecution has been unable to produce clinching and strong evidence against the accused person and consequently failed to prove and establish any of any of the circumstances relied upon by them against the accused persons and resultantly, the prosecution case fails and accused persons are accordingly acquitted of the charges leveled against them.”
