The Supreme Court yesterday fixed July 8 to rule on the appeal of popular Hausa film actress, Ms Rabi Ismail, who is challenging the judgment of the Court of Appeal Kano Division that convicted and sentenced her to death by hanging.

The appellate court had upheld the judgment of a Federal High Court sitting in Kano that the actress has to die by hanging for drugging and drowning her man-friend, Auwalu Ibrahim, on or about December 25, 2002 in a dam in Kano State in order to acquire the deceased’s property.

WOW! The level of greed and gluttony.Murdering someone because of his/her property.
I don't think the sentence is ok though.Probably a life sentence should have been better.

RICHIE BOI:

I think capital punishment should be abolished entirely.

Even when you DELIBERATELY killed someone else?

rokiatu:

Well done to the justice system.

Babe how can you support this crap? btw love the pic, whois beside you? Love her

They should investigate the matter carefully b4 passing judgement. She might be innocent.

Please, someone should post her pics for some of us to see if she someone we know

justice must take it's full course, but judgement is for Allah and Allah alone,

Someone should please tell me that this is a movie! This are the kind of films Nigerian nolly wood produces

Now that she has possessed d properties, she will die. The soul that sin shall DIE. VANITY upon VANITY!!!

A lot of people are convicted on flimsy evidence in this country, so I'm not taking sides.
I want to know what poison was inside the Eclairs sweets and how they found out about it.

blink182:

Babe how can you support this crap?

Seriously, you called this crap? I do not sympathize with killers.


I wish rapist could also serve death sentence.

I think capital punishment should be abolished entirely.

We've gone past that age of life for life, tooth for tooth thingy. Only God or on God's orders should that person's life be taken as killing her will not make any right now apart from a feeling of completed vengeance. She should be thrown in prison for life it's even more miserable than killing her. Inasmuch as she had no right (in fact, she was evil to have done so) to kill her manfriend, the court has no right to kill her too.

Capital punishment should be moderated but not entirely abolished so that we'll be able to distinguish justice from revenge or vengeance.

Hmm.hanging is not d best solution cos it will not bring back the man she killed.there r better ways she can pay fully 4 her crimes while keep her alive.

Anyone who has the audacity to willfully kill a fellow human being has no right to live. How can tax payers money be used to feed such animals for life?

Thank You.

I like them Hausa when it comes to Judgement

We are too "uncivilized" to ascertain that these people died of poison in the first place and also to ascertain the method of administration of the position.

The public should be given full details about the poison and some independent bodies should be brought in to do a proper investigation and the parties found wanting including the police, be brought to justice.

Death penalty should be abolished completely in Nigeria,

Anyway, the prisons are death chambers in themselves but at least government should give people a chance to survive it, Spending time in any Nigeria prison is better punishment than the death penalty,

There should be a thread to discuss and compare Nigerian prisons and death penalty.

they supreme court should quickly confirm the death sentence.she needs to go.greedy evil winch

In As Much dat She Took d Laws In2 Her Hands By Killing Her Man Friend,She Deserved 2 b Punished,but Not By Hanging,Probably Sum Yrs In Jail, So dat She 'll Realised dat Wot She Did was Wrung.
But Come 2 Tink Of Diz, I Tot She Loved Him, GOLD DIGGER.

How developed was Nigerian forensics in 2002 to have ascertained that she gave him poisoned eclairs? How could the witnesses confirm this? How strong is she to have drowned an able-bodied man without an accomplice? If the sweet was indeed poisoned, how was it proven that she was the one who poisoned it?

I am praising the justice system. It just goes to show that they don't care whether you're famous and rich, if you do a crime, then you have to pay.

Dude we get it! Shey you just join crip abi wetin self? By the way there is absolutely no affiliation with MMM ( LA EME ) and Crip. Grow up and try to make some money rather than repping a gang you know nothing about!

Horrible.

Obviously you have no idea how the legal system works. Even in developed countries, reviews of capital cases almost always reveal gaping holes in the prosecution's cases. The acused's guilt or innocence is never clear-cut. There is always some doubt. Real life is never like an episode of CSI. There is no such thing as red-handed.

This woman was convicted based on witness statements. They could have been lying, there was no forensic evidence. Of course she could be guilty but are we really confident enough to bet someone's life on it? If you knew how useless our police, courts and legal system can be at times, you wouldn't be so sure.

The death penalty is cruel and barbaric. If you support it, then the blood of all the countless innocent people who have been wrongly convicted and killed by the state is on your hands.

If the lady in question is truly guilty, then justice should be done to her.

But if she’s innocent, then I would suggest that the court looks into the matter properly so as to avoid condemning an innocent soul to death.

Why?

I don't get you!

With one mouth you said: "Only God or on God's orders should that person's life be taken" and "the court has no right to kill her too"

With the other mouth you said: "Capital punishment should be moderated but not entirely abolished"

Also, why can't justice be revenge or vengeance?

How is it cruel and barbaric?

What is kind and civilised then?
