A Lagos State High Court in Ikeja on Wednesday convicted one Friday James of armed robbery and sentenced him to death by hanging.

The convict, a middle-aged man, was said to have robbed one Olanrewaju of her jewelry worth about N100,000.

The convict, who was said to be armed with a gun and a machete, was said to have also attacked and inflicted injuries on Olanrewaju’s husband’s head and hands with his weapons.


The state prosecutor, Mr. Akin George, told the court that the convict committed the crime on February 17, 2012 at about 3am in the Ikeja area of Lagos.

According to George, the crime was contrary to Section 297 Criminal law of Lagos State 2011, and Section 295 (2) (a).

The trial judge, Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye, found James guilty of the two counts pressed against him by the state.

The judge said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubts.
