Court Condemns 3 To Death For Stealing by Kxy(m): 12:01pm On May 31, 2012
If you ask for my opinion, I'd say this is senseless and an unjust verdict....politicians get sent to a few months/years in jail for stealing millions and now some poor folks get the death sentence for commiting a petty crime.
Abakaliki -A High Court in
Abakaliki on Wednesday
sentenced three men to death by
hanging for stealing. The condemned men Chukwuma
Idenyi, Nwobodo Omebe and
Monday Ekwe of Izzi and
Abakaliki Local Government
Areas dispossessed their victims
the sum of N180, 925. Delivering the judgment, the
Judge, Justice Paul Elechi, held
that the prosecutor proved his
case beyond reasonable doubt. Elechi, therefore, sentenced the
accused persons to death by
hanging. NAN reports that the judgment
was given after the parties
adopted their written addresses. In his argument before the
judgment was given, the counsel
to the defendants, Mr Vin Njoku,
prayed the court to dismiss the
matter. Njoku argued that the
prosecuting counsel and the
complainant failed to prove their
case beyond reasonable doubt. “There were contradictions of the
amount by the complainant and
the prosecutor when the matter
was first reported to the police
and thereafter taken to court,” he
said. Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Roy Ude
argued that his client was robbed
and disposed of the said amount
contributed by his community for
school projects. “If the accused persons were not
properly punished the trend
would continue in the community
and constitute threat to the peace
and security of the people. (NAN)
