Armed robber to die by hanging in Osun For robbing a filling station two years ago, a young man, Alaba Olagunju, has been sentenced to death by an Osogbo High Court.

In a judgement delivered on Wednesday, Justice Oyejide Falola said Olagunju was guilty of robbing AA Filling Station, Oke-Fia, Osogbo, at gunpoint on Nov.4, 2008.

The judge said the convicted robber was guilty of stealing N83, 790.00 from the attendants of the filling station at about 8.30pm on the fateful day.

According to the judgement, Olagunju was found guilty of brandishing a pistol during the robbery.

His accomplice, Idowu Jimoh, was however, lucky as the court set him free for lack of concrete evidence.

Falola said the prosecution proved the involvement of Olagunju beyond reasonable doubt, but failed to do so against Jimoh.

Olagunju, who was caught with a pistol after he fled the scene of the incident, will be hanged by the neck until he is dead.

A combined team of policemen and the attendants at the filling station gave him a chase and finally caught up with him a few metres away from the scene of the incident.
