The judge adjourned the case until October 21 for the continuation of trial.
The convict was arraigned sometime in February 2021 and the trial commenced on Oct. 18, 2021.
Justice Olubunmi Abike-Fadipe held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against the defendant.
While delivering the judgment, the judge convicted Mr Nojim based on the evidence before the court and the guilty plea.
The judge ordered that the convict be returned to prison to serve the remainder of his term any day he refused to show up for community service.
The judge, however, gave the convict an option of a 100-hour community service instead of the term in the correctional centre.
“The no-case submission is hereby overruled, and the defendants are called upon to enter their defence,” Ms Abike-Fadipe said.
Nojeem Badmos, 20, was sentenced to 21 years in prison for conspiracy to commit robbery and death for armed robbery.
“We tried to retrieve the knife, but it is not in our possession because the defendant threw it away after he used it.”
