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.
