Former Abia Policeman Sentenced To Death By Hanging by TUMIC(m): 7:36am On Mar 12, 2013
A High Court sitting in Umuahia has sentenced a former police officer, Corporal Umaru Mohammed to death by hanging over the killing of his colleague, Clement Amaechi, in 2011. Both of them were officers in the Abia state police command.
Immediately after the delivery of the judgment, Mohammed refused to be handcuffed and taken away as he warned all the prison warders to stay away from him.
He was eventually subdued by armed officers in the courtroom. Mohammed attempted to snatch a gun from one of the warders that brought him to the court before he was subdued by security men.
Delivering judgment on the matter Justice Agwu Umah Kalu said the prosecution proved unequivocally that the gunshots fired by the accused person at close range killed the deceased, adding that it is an offence that is punishable under section 319, cap 1 of the criminal code in the state.

Justice Kalu said the accused deserves no sympathy and ordered that he should be hanged by the neck until he is confirmed dead, stressing that it should serve as a deterrent to those who may want to embark on such senseless venture.

Re: Former Abia Policeman Sentenced To Death By Hanging by i1: 10:04am On Mar 12, 2013
very judgment, but please must the matter concern police for the case to be handled proffesionally and quickly? i have seen awaiting trial cases of 1999 thaat has not opened for trial talkless of defence... sentencing will be another matter entirely.
anyway i expect two things 1. an automatic appeal(trust lawyers sha) and 2 all those human rights activists saying that death penalty is babaric.

Way too fhucking slow...

Secondly, our lawyers are super super good at delaying a case. Infact, I have heard lawyers threaten somebody to please take a case to court, that his grandchildren sef would never see the end of that case.

Thirdly, the Nigerian Judiciary needs to be overhauled. Even a case of two fighting can take 5 years to settle.

Our Judges and magistrates are so so lazy its amazing. Some only come to court for 2 hours a day and 3time a week.

Evaluate what?!

If he is mad, then he is a mad psychopath murderer.. In that case, he should have been dragged to the backyard of the courthouse and a half a clip of ammo emptied into his skull..

That is exactly what being brave is, coming from the judge.
Sentencing a policeman from the north to death by hanging for killing an easterner is no joke in Nigeria of today.
But soon, you ll see them emirs and northern elites reading tribal sentiments to this judgement and appealing for "more
human judgement" In fact, they ll preach to high heavens that Nigeria has abolished capital punishment.

I see the guy doing some yrs in prison when these northern elites steps in.
