Two Students To Die By Firing Squad For Robbery by Zulele: 3:02pm On Oct 11, 2012 |
Justice Theresa Igoche of the Makurdi High Court, on Tuesday sentenced two students, Vershima Kaachi and Akaazua Akpen, to death by firing squad for armed robbery. The convicts were arrested on the eve of Christmas in 2007 for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery, contrary to Sections 5(b) and 1(2) of the Robbery and Firearms Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990. In his testimony, the victim of the offence, Jonathan Usenge, told the court that five armed men came to his house, attacked and robbed him of some valuable items on that day. He stated that the robbers collected his Nokia 1600 phone valued N12,700.00, two torch lights valued N350.00 and a sum of N16,500. He said the convicts were armed with guns and a hacksaw, and that the clothes they wore on the day of the robbery, his stolen phone and the hacksaw were recovered from them during police investigation. The prosecution called three witnesses while the accused persons testified for themselves and also called three witnesses. In his submission, counsel to the convicts, Mr Cletus Ujah, argued that the prosecuting counsel had not proved the allegation against his clients beyond reasonable doubt. Ujah insisted that the victim was inconsistent in his testimony, arguing that the prosecution's evidence could not be said to be overwhelming to nail his clients. He further argued that the prosecution failed to tender the hacksaw claimed to have been recovered from his clients before the court which, he said, amounted to withholding evidence. But the prosecuting counsel, Mr Obande Idikwu, argued that the prosecution had made a case to warrant the conviction of the accused persons. Idikwu submitted that from the evidence, it could be deduced that there was an agreement to commit an illegal act, which was pursued to a logical conclusion. Delivering judgment, Igoche held that the prosecution had proved its case against the convicts and found them guilty as charged. In an allocutus, Ujah pleaded for leniency for the accused persons, pointing out that they were each the only sons of their parents and young boys with a promising future ahead of them, noting that they had no records of previous conviction and were looking very remorseful, and urged the court to temper justice with mercy. But the judge said the punishment prescribed for offenders under Section 1(2) of the Robbery and Firearms Act was death by either hanging or firing squad, pointing out that it was subject to the governor's discretion.

People should stop entering peoples houses and terrorizing them. If you are hungry go and camp outside aso rock. Everyone is facing hard times these days. Face the people putting you in poverty. It is not only what is stolen, but the experience is life altering. In your selfishness, you change someone else's life for the worse. If you have two hands and two feet, go and find a job. Lazy, greedy things. See the poor man they are even robbing. These students again. It is only a matter of time before they kill. 6 Likes |
Re: Two Students To Die By Firing Squad For Robbery by Nobody: 3:59pm On Oct 11, 2012 |
To be truthful the judge is right, because they might become a bigger thieves tomorrow that will even come to your house and steal, if you do not have money they will either kill your mum or rape you. I can never forget the day a thief slap my dad. Kiaaaaa |

Did they kill somebody during the robbery?Useless,corrupt and ignorant justice that is devoid of common sense.Judges are like religious fanatics in nigeria,highly deluded without an atom of common sense. |
