The Appellant who was charged with and convicted of armed robbery was sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment by the District Court. He was aggrieved but instead of appealing, he applied for revision. The High Court dismissed his Application holding that the law allowed him to appeal but not to apply for revision. He was aggrieved by the dismissal and appealed to the Court of Appeal arguing that the trial court did not inform him of his right to appeal and mitigate his offence before it sentenced him. The Court of Appeal considered the question whether the Appellant was legally justified to resort to revision instead of exercising his right to appeal. It also considered the propriety of the Appellant’s affidavit which was filed in the High Court.
