"CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE - INSTANCES WHEN CONVICTION CAN BE BASED ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE 

"Where there is no eye witness account or direct evidence of the commission of an offence, a conviction may be based on circumstantial evidence, Igbale v State [2004] 15 NWLR (pt 896) 314. However,  such circumstantial evidence must point to only one conclusion, namely, that the offence had been committed and that it was the accused person who committed It, Dick v C. O. P. [2009] 9 NWLR (pt1147) 530, 551"
