It's clear people don't read posts. They just go ahead and type what they like after reading captions. It is a pity.

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.

God go punish una....make una no go sentence the real political thieves!

NubiLove:
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.

@Criticize001

I see you know book very well, so why is Evans not being hanged since all this while despite the overwhelming evidence against him, he may not be an armed robber but I believe his case is even worse.
in fact he said he did couple of robbery before stepping up his game.
fact is this country is only made for the riches, it's only the poor that needs to thread careful not to be a victim.

blessing fall on you

Every time a sentence like this is discussed on Nairaland, people go apeshit and say illogical things.

In Nigeria, the Penalty for armed robbery is death. It matters not if you stole N5k or N500k.

If dieZiani is caught on video robbing motorists with a gun, she will hang.

It may seem a harsh sentence, but the message has to be passed across. Armed robbery cannot be condoned. Whining about the small sum of money makes no sense when you consider the thousands of people that have been killed by petty thugs attempting to steal Cheap Mobile phones and snatch nearly empty wallets.

May God have mercy on his soul.

Well, that's what you get for stealing moreover, you stole from someone who has got no replacement in sight

Catholic pope was shoot many times and survived d attack?he forgive d foool and d same fool serve his jail terms and came back to him wit a new life and stay wit him for a while wit lots of pictures of handshakes wit same pope

This farmer's case has been in court since 2014.... he just got sentenced in October 2017... over 3 years in court.

Evans did a couple of armed robberies... yes... but they would prove have to prove it in court.

Evans did a lot of kidnappings, the police asked for 3 - 4 months to carry out investigations and gather evidence. Now Evans has been formally charged to court.

Lagos State kidnapping law has the "death penalty" included in it.

Evans is likely going to get life imprisonment or the death penalty (like Rev. King who was rich when he was arrested).

Okay!

let's hope Evans follow the Same suit,
but my thoughts still stands, this country is only made for the riches

is it your English?

if the guy can be hanged. we need to start grinding our corrupt politicians inside grinding machines oooo.

MadCow1:



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.

Oga don't quote me with your inequality standards. Because victims like you and I were not directly affected doesn't make their loots a lesser evil. What do you say the youth that lost his life in ekiti state when he went to look for a petty job cos school was on strike last year? 1/2 of madueke's loot can settle all of ASUU's grievances and demand comfortably. Or what do you say to the Virginia woman that killed herself after she realized she's lost a fortune to a scammer back here in Nigeria and Ghana?

Must they be in possession of a firearm to walk the gallows and hang too?

Bro the law is weak. Some stuff we see here cannot be mentioned is some developed parts of the world.

That judgement up there is sick.

This post no balance.... the news some how get K leg

Pls which Delta, are you talking of Delta in Nigeria SS region or another Delta somewhere in Western Sahara or Afghanistan that this embarrassing judgement was declated?

That judge should be hang immediately.

Michellla:
The verdict passed is too extreme.
That judge needs his head checked

i think the verdict was influenced by d fact that he robbed politicians
