OSOGBO—Justice Jide Falola of an Osun State High Court sitting in Okuku has sentenced two robbers
to death for stealing fowls. The convicts, Olowookere Segun and Morakinyo
Sunday, were found guilty of forcefully breaking
into the house of one Mr. Balogun Tope, a police
officer attached to Divisional Police headquarters,
Okuku, in April 2010 and carting away some of his
belongings. The convicts were charged with conspiracy,
robbery and stealing contrary to Section 6(b) and
1(2)(a) of Robbery and Firearm (Special Provisions)
Act, cap R 11 Laws of Federation of Nigeria 2004
and Section (390)(1) Criminal Code Law, Cap 34,
Laws of Osun State, 2002. The prosecution team, led by the state Solicitor-
General, Mrs Abiola Adewemimo, called six
witnesses and tendered several exhibits during the
prosecution. The prosecution told the court that on November
13, 2010, men were sighted around Balogun’s
home armed with cutlass and a dane gun, and that
while two of them were arrested, others escaped. The convicts were said to have confessed that they
stole the complainant’s fowls, adding that they had
been in his house before to steal. Adewemimo said: “They also stated that they had
earlier robbed Alhaja Umani Oyewo in her house
and stole broilers, eggs and kegs of vegetable oil
from the house.” In his judgment, Justice Falola convicted them on
only three counts: to death for conspiracy; life
sentence for robbery, and three years
imprisonment for stealing. Justice Falola recommended that the governor can
decide to commute the death sentence to 10 years
imprisonment, considering the convicts’ ages.
