In his notice of appeal, Counsel to Okuneye, prayed the Court to set aside the maximum sentence, adding that the trial court imposed the maximum sentence on his client who had no previous criminal record of conviction.
The lawyer is asking the court to replace the sentence with an option of a N50,000 Naira fine on each of the counts.
