I think there is more to this case than just a stolen phone because no Judge will pass a death sentence just because of a stolen phone except he was Armed with possibly a gun during the crime ..The Lad I see in the pic is a born criminal who will never change and even if he is freed I see him hurting someone on the future

Since when did stealing carry the death penalty? He must have killed someone in cause of stealing to warrant such.

If he was armed when he committed the robbery then sadly the penalty is death. Armed robbery has been punishable by death in Nigeria for decades but I think it's only fair that it be commuted to imprisonment.

We might not have the facts of the case. But I will tell you in confidence that he was not sentenced to death for the phone. He was sentenced to death for armed robbery which is punishable by death. It does not matter if you stole a cube of sugar in an armed robbery.

As per the politicians that steal money; their punishment is lesser cos it is termed 'embezzlement ' and 'misapproppriation '. The crime determines your sentence.

Is nigeria a country? lol
even in advanced climes, people with worse offends get long sentences or life imprisonments with possibility of parol. It doesn't matter if na armed robbery or armed burglary.

I don't understand. How can a judge sentence someone to death over stealing? Guy didn't even commit bodily harm. Was the judge high on weed?

The punishment is not commensurate with the crime at all.

Modified*

From comments here I deduce the guy's crime was armed robbery and aggravated body harm.

Hmmmm.

Exactly what I would have said. This is exactly what someone who is non-biased would have said.
First we need to condemn the act by the perpetrator.
Secondly, in the course of perpetraing the act did he cause any injury or death.
Finally, an appropriate penalty should be levied against him.

mandarin:
This case has to be revisited. Yes, stealing is bad but how does that translate to a death sentence, did he commit murder in the process? we need answers quick.
All these happenings are just disheartning!

As long as he didn't kill anyone in the course of stealing the phone then the judgement is too harsh.

Even life imprisonment is too harsh.

The lawyers in the house can help suggest a more appropriate punishment.

Let a civil rights association appeal the case.

He should not be condemned for life for stealing a phone. He should have a second chance with freedom.

Was it a case of ARMED robbery ?

Did he threaten the victim with any harmful object? Even if it's a stone or table knife or fake gun?

If he did, then the judgement is in order.

According to Nigeria's law, ARMED robbery carries the death penalty irrespective of the value of the item involved.

Don't mind the poster and the supposed journalist who reports the story. He distorted the information just to paint the judge and judiciary bad and garner undeserved sympathy from the masses, especially those who are not current with happenings around them or within the country. The boy in question, in company of another, deceived the victim [that] there was an emergency and they needed to quickly make use of his phone to call someone, only for them to stab him in the head (after the innocent man had innocently handed them the phone) and run away with his phone even as they left him in the pool of his own blood. It was God and some good samaritans that later rescued him from the grip of death.
You know sometimes it's actually good to discern things before commenting. Even if Nigeria were such a terrible country, would a judge, even a mad one, just sentence someone to death for 'stealing a phone?'
Most Nigerians are too lazy to read or do research and look beyond mere sentiments.

And who still wants to know why Nigeria is a zoo? Its obvious the judge have been financially compromised by those who wants the poor boy dead either because of where he came from or for some selfish reasons. This is to tell how messed this country is' no matter how much they try to cover up their mess. A country where a judge will have the mind to collect bribe in order to kill unjustly and unwarranted is not a country to find humans in. I therefore urge all people of good conscience, those who are on the side of truth and light to either in their mind or speech mention my Monica.

M-Mention

Punishment for stealing is not death and it is not even a case to be tried at high Court. it was probably armed robbery where death or grievous hurt occurred.

It isn't about the value of what he stole; you can steal billions with a pen and be sentenced to a few years in prison however armed robbery carries a much heavier sentence and in this case they stole using a knife. Morale of the story: you are better off stealing with a pen that with a dangerous weapon. You'll even be celebrated!!!
