The court held that the prosecution proved a prima facie case against OKT1 and OKT2 by establishing custody and control of the two red bags and the vehicle, thereby invoking the statutory presumption under s37(d) DDA which the accused failed to rebut on balance; OKT3 successfully rebutted the presumption and was acquitted; OKT4-OKT6 were acquitted at close of prosecution case for lack of linkage; convictions and sentences for trafficking and possession follow based on chemical analysis and statutory provisions.
