A Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin and presided over by Justice Ibrahim Yusuf on Tuesday sentenced two students, Abdulazeez Ismail and Ajala Oluwatimileyin, to death for the murder of a 300-level undergraduate of the University of Ilorin, Blessing Olajide.

Olajide was raped and killed by the duo on June 2, 2021, at her sister’s house in the Tanke area of Ilorin, Kwara State.

Justice Yusuf also sentenced another student, Oyeyemi Omogbolahan, to life improvement, while two siblings: Abdulkarim Shuaib (aka Easy) and Kareem Rasheed (Rashworld), were sentenced to three years’ imprisonment each for withdrawing money from the Guarantee Trust Bank account of the deceased a few days after she was killed.

Three others: Abdullateef Abdulrahman, Daud Adebayo (Bashman) and Akande Oladoja, were discharged and acquitted by the court.

Delivering judgement on 11 counts of conspiracy, armed robbery, rape, culpable homicide and stealing of funds preferred against the eight accused persons, Justice Yusuf found the three students guilty of conspiracy, rape and murder of Olajide, while two other telephone repairers who helped to unlock her telephone and assisted in the withdrawal of money from her account were convicted for conspiracy and stealing.

The judge, who said 13 people testified for the prosecution, while 16 witnesses, including the accused persons, were called to testify for the defendants, said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Justice Yusuf said, “While the prosecution established the ingredients of conspiracy and armed robbery against the first three accused persons, it proved beyond reasonable doubt that injury was inflicted on the deceased and she was raped to death.

“I direct that Abdulazeez Ismail and Ajala Moses Oluwatimileyin be hanged by the neck until they are pronounced dead.”

The prosecution counsel and former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Salman Jawondo, who spoke to journalists after the court session, said, “The irony of it all is that all those involved are young men of 19, 23, etc. It’s quite unfortunate. And that shows that we have to work on our future in this country.”

Heartless idiots, what is their gain now


Rest in peace to the young woman

Do they still execute deathrow criminals in Nigeria? One of my guys in d force here at state command, Asaba, Hates thieves/robbers pass devil. He secretly kills them after arrest, and without trial, especially when calls from don dey come for their release. I remember when one phone was traced to 2 criminals. He just kill them after they explained how they stole the phone, unlocked it at ugbe- onogo market. Maybe he or his family members was victim

Good judgement
Let the death sentence be signed immediately.
Don't know the kind of human right that goes against capital punishment, when the accused commits such grieviius acts as murder

Justice is served

Ilorin boys are dangerous❗️❗️� ☠️☠️☠️

Good judgement.

Good judgement, even though the governor will not agree the sign the death sentence, they should serve a life sentence. Such people shouldn't be allowed to mix with humanity.
Imagine r@ping someone to death, had no remorse , still went ahead to unlock her phone and ste@l her money

Good radiance

Avonjaaaaaaa

Good judgment i hope the Governor might do the needful by signing the Death Warrant and aslo this will serve as a deterrent to others.

Please there should be no room for Appeal.

Nice one from the judge

Raping for what exactly?

Except there be an ulterior motive, sex is easily the cheapest commodity out there.
