"Conspiracy is a criminal offence not defined in the criminal or Penal code.

It is accepted as an agreement of two or more persons to do an act which it is an offence to agree to do.

As direct positive evidence of the proof between the conspirators is hardly capable of proof, the courts established the offence of conspiracy as a matter of inference to be deduced from certain criminal acts of the parties concerned.

The bottom line of the offence is the meeting of the minds of the conspirators to commit an offence and the meeting of the minds need not be physical. Nwosu v. The State (2004) 15 NWLR (pt.897) pg.466., Oduneye v. State (2001) 13 WRN pg.88. Obiakor v. State (2002) 10 NWLR (pt'776) pg. 612', Daboh v. State (1997) 5 SC pg.197."
