The importance of a charge sheet under Nigerian Law is such that it gives the accused person adequate information on the offense alleged against him. This is so that the accused person can adequately prepare his defense for the trial. See YAKUBU v. STATE (2018) JELR 38553 (CA) IFEANYI v. FRN (2018) JELR 40704 (SC)
