John Sadick Nduye vs The Republic CRIMINAL APPEAL NO
The trial court had jurisdiction due to proper consent and certificate; PW1 was competent to tender the exhibit as custodian; the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt through the appellant's admission, corroborated by witness testimony and documentary evidence; the chain of custody was properly maintained; the sentence of a fine in the alternative to imprisonment was unlawful, and the correct sentence is twenty years imprisonment without an option of a fine under Section 60(2) of the EOCCA.
