skeendyke: I read some disdainful comments made by some folks here and felt nothing but a pang of pity for their ignorance. Those folks who cite the financial crimes of politicians who loot our treasury daily should not forget that they are alive, hale and hearty to protest or seek redress if they will. Many politicians hav come and gone, stolen from the national purse but never to our physical detriment was it done. Those folks who say the Judge is callous, wicked etcetera hav only displayed shallow thinking. May be you have not had any experience with ARMED ROBBERS and not just robbers (I pray you don't ever have it) thats why you show misguided indignation at the Judge and his sentence. I protested with very great anger against the Aluu4 killings. Their murder was rash, callous, unjustified and wicked. Even if they stole (it was alleged which means they did not commit the crime) the items, the fact that they werent even armed should have been considered by their brutal assailants (may their souls rest in perfect peace). However, as regards armed robbery with matchet or guns or knives or clubs, any thief is deserving of his punishment. You well know how armed robbers mercilessly kill or maim or injure people in their operation. At egbeda, a gang of thieves inflicted deep matchet cuts on the backs, heads and shoulders of tenants of a household for not possessing anything worth stealing...how devilish. The tenants are even lucky to be alive to narrate their ordeal for there are thousands lying in their graves as we speak who went through similar experience or worse but did not make it out alive. Many of you just opened your mouths to condemn the judge for sentencing them to death but fail to recognise the fact that the victim of that armed robbery (or any) could be you or anyone. There are a million valid arguments in favour of death sentence to ARMED ROBBERS and not mere robbers and those arguments have nothing to do with corrupt politicians who loot the treasury. The politicians did not forcefuly dispossess you of your hard earned money at gun point, they did not Molestation a member of your family while stealing, they did not slash or make fatal cuts on your body or kill you while attempting to steal, you only heard they stole but it doesnt affect you emotionally, physically, mentally, and psychologically as armed robbery affects its victims. Death to Armed Robbers who hav sworn this country and its cities will not dwell in peace and safety.

Thank you my brother for speaking the truth in plain terms. Some of these guys when they go robbing, the rape women, kill, maim and injure their victims. They even at as if it is their right for you to keep money at home waiting for them to come calling. Those that have experience any form of robbery attack would understand what we are talking about. They see all the politicians in the society yet it is those struggling and managing to survive that they would rob and any slight attempt for their victim to object to their demand may lead to death or other form of damage For me i don't have any sympathy for them.

Even in the US,the death penalty is not extinct just modified. I hate armed robbers[/quote

For real no one likes ARM ROBBER but FIRING SQUAD for less than a million naira when our leaders are syphoning BILLIONS OF HARD CURRENCY and nothing happens to them.

Man, in the sight of the law, stealing and armed robbery are not the same.Once you rob a person with a gun or any other dangerous weapon, the penalty is death, regardless of what you stole and your reason for stealing.
