Our government is making life unbearable for the common man. U steal #10,000 u are sentenced to death. U steal #2billion, u are given chieftancy titles and celebrated. Oduah is dere, notin has been done on her case. God is the ultimate judge.

Warri boys is too much oo especially ekpan boys and orobo boys

what sought of country is this, is that justine? if it is, what is stella oduah and other fools like her still doing alive, why where they nt sentence, the poor are really sufering in this country

babanne: Do you actually know what the law says as to the penalty of armed robbery?

Shut up mr man.. The death penalty is hardly given to murderers this days, let alone armed robbers
This is injustice and abuse of power...

collynzo2: Death sentence is for those who do it through guns.

you have said it all........

That girl badt gan....how she take knw say Nah toy gunwell experience is ur best teacher.

Armed robbery death sentence and our politicians are walking freely? Another poor nigeria has fallen victim. God help us

kubi240: what of those stealing our billions tru d pen

When you heard that $5billion was stolen from our excess crude account, did you die ? Did your heart even skip a beat, you were sincerely angry because you Did Not get a portion of the loot ! This 24yr old high school boy is a potential hitman, he is even too old to be in school and we know that it is due to truancy. He already has a lengthy crime record behind him, so stopping him Now is the least we Can ask for... Prison is Not an option, because prisons are criminal training facilities, When that guy comes out after his term, he would rob govt house... No too worry sha.. We all know dat he would forever be ' awaiting execution'

SLIDE waxie: bros, stop these hypocrisy na
i'm sure u be ibo. For ur land, 44 years old dey write WAEC na!

And i'm sure u are yoruba. Must u involve the igbo in dis ?

And those bigger thieves who re looting all our liquidity are walking freely smh

obyrich: You must be either a bigger thief or an accomplice. The smaller thief is aggresive because he lacks the security and protection of the state available to the bigger thief. For the fact that you support looting and pronounce death sentence on an armed robber then you must be worse than this judge and a very wicked and selfish man!

oga na wah for u o. did he tell u he supports looting. have u ever been robbed? pls dnt make me suspect u

24yr old in secondary school. Am i the only one seeing that part of the story?

tell me its not true!!!

you are right,but your grammar suffers most

M nt sayin wat dis dude did is gud, but d mere thought dat worse crime dan dis r done by our politicians n dey go scot free is alarming...pple of farouk's ilk shld nt b wrkin on d street as free citizens...farouk,oduah,cecilia ibru,igbededion,attah n many more shld b sentenced 2 death by dropping in a jungle filled with starved lions....9ja i hail thee

Good for him it should be a public execution self

kel4soft: Please this should be sent to FP to discuss exhaustively. That judge needs a brain surgery.

armed robbery is armed robbery, it is not what you robbed that counts...

Why the argument?
It was an armed robbery charge, not a mere robbery.
The victim admitted that the weapon used was a toy gun and on that point the judge should not have applied the maximum sentence.
The judge may have reasoned that a weapon remains a weapon whether real or toy, if it was used to instill fear in the victim.
There are laws that deal with armed robbery but are there no laws that deal with pen robbery?
It amazes me how a man who steals N10,000.00 can be sentenced to death but another man who pensteals N10 billion goes free.
All men are equal but some are more equal than others.

A Boko Haram member, life in prisonment while a robber of recharge card death by hanging. Pls wat is wrong with this country eh?

Death sentence is too much,what of our oga's at the top

[size=20pt]LOL....... THATS HOW IT GOES

The death sentence is too much,what of our oga's at the top

This is a lesson to all those who want to venture into the stealing career.

"Whatever you are doing, do it well." Na so dem write am for Bible.

If you are going to tiff, tiff well well. Don't tiff maggi or biro. Tiff billions of naira. In Nigeria there are chieftaincy title that award such actions.

Magic Bishop: There is a big difference between Armed Robbery and plain Robbery and I am the sure the original charge was for armed robbery a crime that is punishable by death. The daft Journalist wanted to created unnecessary headlines by omitting the initial charge.

In my opinion he deserved the sentence he got.

And No this does not warrant front page.

It was not a real gun. I am not convinced that the judge acted within the sentencing guidelines.

Xhammy :

it s nt justine,it Justina

If you have ever been robbed you will understand how it feel. I have been a victim of robbery and I will tell its not what you will wish for your enemy.
I agree that the death penalty is harsh but where would you rather keep an armed robber. Not our prisons surely. He goes there and comes back even more hardened and the next victim on his release may not live to tell his story.
For me sha, make dem go rest for hell.
