"My Lords, it has long been settled that this Court will, readily, upset concurrent findings of lower Courts where there are exceptional circumstances, such as, where the findings are perverse; where there was a miscarriage of justice or where a principle of Law or procedure was not followed, Ogbu v. State (1992) 8 NWLR (Pt. 295) 255; Igago v. State [1999] 14 NWLR (Pt. 637) 1; Adeyemi v. The State [1991] 1 NWLR (Pt. 170) 679; Adeyeye v. The State (2013) LPELR-19913 (SC) 46; Akpabio v. State (1994) 7 NWLR (Pt. 359) 635; Ejikeme v. Okonkwo (1994) 8 NWLR (Pt. 362) 266.

Unfortunately for the appellant, his counsel could not show the perversity of the concurrent findings of the lower Courts in this matter. Accordingly, there is no justification for interfering with them, Igbikis v. The State (2017) LPELR-41667 (SC); Ogbu v. State (supra); Igago v. State (supra); Adeyemi v The State (supra); Adeyeye v. The State (supra); Akpabio v. State (supra)."
