This is unfair

the sentence weak me...

A country where justice is delayed and suspects are held without bail or poor souls are quickly handed harsh and merciless sentences even when they lacked a good defense lawyer whereas the rich can hire 7 SANs and get acquitted fast or have court adjourn the case for decades while enjoying the comfort of freedom and their homes.

dear, just keep talking, you will say something reasonable one day ode!

Ha, oga judge. This is absolutely not correct except if it was aggravated with loss of life or limb, rape or abduction. What will you do to those stealing billions and causing genocide in the process.

The way the judge handled the case is very bad by de dead sentence he should have gone for some years imprisonment or pay back with surties sentencing him 2 death didn't solve the issue

The issue is that he used a gun to rob and he injured his victim with clear intent... the law stipulates penalty for that crime which is called... "ARMED" robbery.

The money or handset is not the issue.

It is better to steal on paper or fraudulently than to use gun to steal... one is a white collar crime, while the other is a violent crime.

If I am going to steal, I would steal like fraudsters and politicians and not like ARMED robbers.

slimshadyl:
can you imagine? can't the court ask him to pay back the N170 and handset money even with interest. and never in history Av we heard of politicians looters being given that type of punishment no matter how much they loot.
I GIVE UP ON NIGERIA

How on earth will he steal a whole N170 and a #5k worth Nokia phone, that's robbery.

Didn't he know that Nigeria's law is mainly for the poor??

Sylvester Idowu in Warri

A 38-year-old farmer, Francis Williams, has been sentenced to death by hanging by a Delta State High Court sitting at Ozoro for robbing his victims of N170 and a Nokia handset valued at N5,000.

The court presided over by Justice A.O. Akpovi sentenced the farmer having found him guilty of the charge of armed robbery punishable under section (1(2)(a) of the robbery and firearms (Special Provision) Act Cap RII Volume 14 Laws of the Federation , 2004.


Justice Akpovi also found the accused guilty on the charge of wounding his victims with intent which got him a life sentence and illegal possession of firearms with a sentence of 10 years imprisonment respectively.

An Assistant Director in the Ministry of Justice T.R. Anuhwin, through prosecution witnesses had told the court that on June 4, 2014 at a Palm Kernel Farm located at Ewu in Ughelli South Local Government, the accused robbed one Hon. Noah Ovie and his assistant of a Nokia handset valued at N5,000 and a cash sum of N170 while armed with a cut to size locally made gun.

Prosecution witnesses further told the court that nemesis however caught up with the armed robber, who was on a solo mission, when he was in the process of trying to rob them of other valuables as the two victims summoned courage and overpowered their assailant.

The court was also told that in his desperation to escape after being apprehended, he bit off one of the fingers of the former Councillor, Hon. Noah Ovie, but his escape bid was foiled by passerby who rushed to the scene and held him down and later handed him over to the police.

The accused, who made a voluntary confessional statement to the police, admitted to have committed the offence but retracted same during trial, called no witness but testified for himself while the prosecution called four witnesses in proof of its case.

Dis is nt ryt n proper......hw many governors, senators n leaders ve dey hang by killing for stealing billions of naira n kiling innocent soul.......,.
only d poor suffer in dis country.. yyyyyyyy..

Some people don't get the true picture.

I will prefer to kill a man that robs victims of their N200 and N50 notes with a rifle than one who steals N10 million with technology or Biro.

Both are wicked but one is far more dangerous.

If you harm a fellow human with a gun because of N200, you'd soon destroy a whole community with explosives over a plot of land.

Some of us just choose to be daft most of the time. There is a difference between LOOTING, STEALING, MONEY LAUNDERING and ARMED ROBBERY.

The judgment is not based on the amount involved but the level of fatality and the brutality behind the ACT.

This is not a genuine news at all

Farmer to die by hanging ? Oh my God. Then buhari and Baru that are the biggest thieves are to continue flying presidential jet abi?

You made a good point there. It is callous.

Also, people should underatand that it is clearly armed robbery regardless of the amount or items stolen. The penalty is not dependent on the worth of goods stolen.

Sad but a robber is a robber.

When did our law provides death penalty for a robber that did not kill his victim?

hmm na wa o so because of N170 and a phone of 5k na him person papa go die by hanging so the owner of the money and phone cannot forgive the man.After the owner of the phone go say him be Christian or even Muslim......hmmm God just save this country.

idiots

The thieves in Abuja and state capitals continue to loot the the nation to almost total penury. Sometimes I wonder if we have leaders in Nigeria with an iota of sense left. The retards travel abroad and see how well society is organised yet it does not occur to them that we need to reduce poverty in the nation and hence reduce crime and the madness going on daily.

Franky826:
Funny country

Whoever wrote the statutes contained in that law
Deserves to hang by the gallows too.

Dasuki, Alison madueke, Evans and a litany of them are still alive.

And you want us to have any flicker of Hope in this country?

Did Allison enter your home with a Gun to rob you?

Evans will face the hangman's noose eventually but don't ever compare strong armed robbery with looting. It's not about the size of the loot but the fact that people's lives were put directly in danger.

I don't know why this sort of disappointing armed robber should garner any sympathy.


Risking his miserable life for just #170 and a Nokia torchlight phone worth #5,000 is clearly a huge disappointment to the Judge and considered him not fit to be alive.

He should be flayed before being hung!


If you must rob, rob in a grand style and decently.


What a wasted life!

Hypocrisy

who is this idiot of a judge

Key Problem here is that people mistake thieving for Armed robbery.. Thieves don't endanger your life. They steal from you without a threat to your life. Armed Robbers don't steal, they rob you, inflict bodily harm and in most cases take your life.

So please stop with this foolishness of comparing political thieves to robbers who come to kill you.

Thus, 4 that i love you and want to use my time 4something precious i will give this only last reply am not tired of wading against ur tide but my time has a great worth, so priceless to waste on compromise. Dude! if people gait paid for being senseless you will surely earn a fortune from it, oaf.

Abeg they should behave themselves. I'm not saying we should go nd legalise stealing or look d odaa way cos our ogas at d top do it. but 4 godsakes, d judge is learned,Nd we learned pple know, punishment has to fit crime. how can 170k equate to a death sentence. I even fil like sentencing d judge sef, ds decision was reached par incuriam. thank God for d right of/to appeal. wee jst cost d accused a few more bucks

Them never hang evans na this man, God go punish Our leaders especially President Buhari, He will cry and die painfully gradually

We are finished in this country
