Neco 2024 Government Question 3
Practice objective / multiple choice question 3 from the 2024 Neco Government examination.
A defendant is convicted of three offences. The statutory custodial sentences are 5\,years for offence A, 3\,years for offence B and 2\,years for offence C. Offences A and B arise from the same act, so they may be sentenced concurrently; otherwise they must be consecutive. Offence C is unrelated. The judge orders concurrent sentencing for A and B and consecutive sentencing for C. As a first‑time offender, the defendant is entitled to a statutory reduction of 20\% on the total custodial term. What is the total effective period of imprisonment in years (to one decimal place)?
