"The law is that a no case submission may properly be made and upheld when there has been no evidence to prove an essential element of the alleged offence or when the evidence adduced by the prosecution has been so discredited as a result of crossexamination or is so manifestly unreliable that no reasonable tribunal could safely convict on it. See IBEZIAKO VS C.O.P (1963) 1 SCNLR 99, and STATE VS EMEDO (2001) 12 NWLR (PT 726) 131."
