The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the judgment of a Lagos High Court sentencing a man, Nonso Okeke (a.k Rev King) to death for murder of on Chinwe Ofomatu on October 28, 20 The Appeal Court in Lagos had earlie affirmed the judgment of the lower court. Okeke was convicted by the Lagos High Court on April 13, 2010 f the offence of conspiracy to commit murder and murder of Ofomatu at her residence in House 18, A Close, Road 403, Festac Town.

He was found guilty of the allegation convicted and sentenced to death by the Court. Specifically, Okeke was convicted and sentenced to death by the trial court for conspiracy and murder contrary to Sections 324 and 319(1) of the Criminal Code Act Cap 17, Laws of Lagos State, 2003.

Dissatisfied, Okeke approached the Court of Appeal in Lagos and asked that the judgment of the lower court be upturned. But the appeal failed a the appellate court dismissed the application. Again, Okeke took his ca before the Supreme Court in Abuja and asked that the judgments of the lower courts be upturned.

Kazeem, who was represented by th Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs. Idowu Alakija and Mr Justin Jacobs had argued that th appeal was devoid of merit, and ought to be dismissed. In its judgment, the apex court upheld the arguments canvassed by the Sta Government, and held that the appe of Nonso Okeke lacked merit. The court, in the lead judgment delivered by Justice Musa Dattijo Muhammed thereafter dismissed th appeal and upheld the decision of t lower courts.

The best judgement of the century. He should have been hanged by now. He has killed and must be killed.


Let them carry out his execution ASAP.
