Ruling

1. The Applicant Dickson Oselu Oselu was charged and convicted of the offence of breaking into a building and committing a felony contrary to Section 306 (a) of the Penal Code in Tamu SPM’s Cr. Case No. E318 of 2022. He was sentenced on 20th April, 2023 to imprisonment for a period of 1 year. He now applies for review of his sentence under the provisions of the Community Service Order.

2. I have perused the sentence review report dated 17th August, 2023 by Probation Officer, Tamu and I find that the same is unfavourable to the Applicant. I thus order that the Applicant continues serving his sentence in custody.

4. File closed.
