The convict, who resides at number 26, Bajomo Ijaye Ojokoro, Lagos state, was convicted on a two-count charge of membership of an unlawful society and possession of a local made pistol without license
The Magistrate, Mr O.L Oke, said that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that the convict was guilty as charged.
Oke also held that the evidence presented by the prosecution was tenable and therefore sentenced the convict to seven years in prison for the first count.
He also convicted Afolayan to 10 years for the second count of being possession of local made pistol
He,however, did not give the convict an option of fine, adding that the sentence should run concurrently.
