Death penalty is harsh maybe a few yrs imprisonment would have been fair, how unfortunate

i think nigeria needs more of judgements like this. We have been treating criminals with kid-gloves in this country that is why the act increase by the day. if you are an armed robber and yu are reading this thread, your own time will soon come.

@Frederickokey: The Nigerian criminal code stipulates a death sentence to anyone convicted of armed robbery. I think that's too harsh too. At least, a lengthy jail term/life sentence will suffice. The death penalty should be for only homicide (murder) convictions.

obyrich: I dont care if you are a witch, wizard, pen-robber or poo-hole! All I know is that people like you are the real enemies of the masses. Only a dimwit will support such lopsided justice system as we have in Nigeria. This convict for all I care is a hungry, frustrated and misguided youth who deserves pity and rehabilitation! What could keep a 24- year- old man in high school if not planlessness and sheer wickedness of the looters in government? If this guy were from a rich home will he even go to court? Why is Nigeria laws so mean on the poor? If this guy were your brother will you open that maggot-infested buccal cavity of yours to support this judgement? Will your warped mind be at peace with it?

have you ever being robed and your wife and sisters raped before your eyes and your sister had to commit suicide?

kel4soft: Please this should be sent to FP to discuss exhaustively. That judge needs a brain surgery.

Do you have any idea of Nigerian Law? That fellow was charged under The Robbery and Firearms Act. Conviction means death! Spare the judge!! As we use to say in law classes, 'his hands were tied'!

My question is was it right to deliver a death verdict after the weapon in use was a toy one?

What kinda Judiciary system is this? This is a robbery case, not murder. Are we still that primitive to practise Jungle justice! Its no different from lynching by a mob!

De-Novo:



i truely understand the annoyance of this writter, and i also understand why a lot of people would be happy to condem the judge. but do we realise that the judges are there to interprete the laws our forebears you and i (either directly or through our useless representatives at the national assembly) enacted?

Do we realise that there are separate punishments for breaking into a person’s home at night and doing the same thing in the day, the former being more severe? for robbing people armed and for doing so unarmed? on the flip side, do you know that stealing a hundred naira and stealing a billion under our law is the same? and they both carry the same punishment?

I hate the Cecilia Ibrus and James Ibori’s of this world, but then they never raped mothers, wives, daughters and sisters in carrying out their dastardly acts, they never killed or maimed anyone as far as i know!

How many unarmed robbers have been hung? none ! they enjoyed the same benefits of the iboris – prison terms!

Until our elected law makers change our archaic criminal codes, there is nothing the judges can do!

But wait who am i kidding? do i expect our lawmakers to prepare the noose for their own hanging when the leave office?

lai lai!

i am still expecting you,it ihas been long that i heard from you

They probably sentenced the guy to replace someone important who is on death sentence....because this doesnt makes sense to me its not done anywhere
Re: Student Sentenced To Death For Stealing Recharge Cards And A Mobile Phone by Bome01(m): 7:09pm On Nov 20, 2013
collynzo2: Death sentence is for those who do it through guns.
so someone who stole billions of naira should be spared or given a light sentence while someone who stole less than half a million at most at gunpoint should be sentenced to death? Did u even reason before posting this comment of yours?

Why should Farouk be in this list? the last time i checked Farouk collected bribe from Otedola, he was not accused for stealing from public funds like the others.

well, found guilty by using gun to rob. That is good for him.

Magic Bishop: There is a big difference between Armed Robbery and plain Robbery and I am the sure the original charge was for armed robbery a crime that is punishable by death. The daft Journalist wanted to created unnecessary headlines by omitting the initial charge.

In my opinion he deserved the sentence he got.

And No this does not warrant front page.

Sometimes most people tend to read the headlines only but dont bother to read details.

My fear is, what if this is even a wrong man, who was at a wrong place at the wrong time? The pressure on police to solve case quickly make them pick an innocent weaklin and get false plea through cohesion

Human rights organization must get involved
