"For the purpose of drawing an inference of an accused person's guilt from circumstantial evidence, there must not be other co-existing circumstances which would weaken or destroy that inference, Igho v State [1978] 3 SC 87:. State v Edobor [1975] 9-11 SC 69. Thus, all other factors and surrounding circumstances must be, carefully, considered for they may be enough to adversely affect the inference of guilt, Lori v State [1980] 8-11 SC 81; Udedibia v State [1976] 11 SC 133; Aigbadion v State [2000] 7 NWLR (pt 666) 686".
