this is nonsense na

Haaa! For killing a whole human being! Wasn't someone sent to death for stealing phones worth 25k last week? Chai! It is finished! Eni to ku ni ti e gbe! It is well. I'm sure she would be out within the next two years! Fugly killer! May God rest the deceased. For all those that are destined to die in the spouses' hands, may God rest your souls in advance. Whew!

No wonder NTA news crew came to Court today. I should have gone to the C. J's court to hear the judgment live! I don't get how her offence was commuted to manslaughter because i witnessed a few of the trial sessions and evidence led was pointing towards murder. The case was in the Chief Justice's court, so i doubt there was bias or foul play . That man is one of the few fair and upright judges I know.

I thought punishment for manslaughter was life imprisonment? How come we have 7 years?

The administration of justice and the punishment system in Nigeria is a joke, a poor man steals biscuits and he is sentenced to 20years in jail, while all the wicked politicians who stole billions are given lighter sentence or plea bargain, how can you sentence a killer to 7years in jail, what kind of useless jungle called Nigeria, oh well, I agree with those who call the country a zoo and a jungle, nonsense

They are just indirectly encouraging jungle justice. Next time anything like that happens, I'm sure my Ibadan forks will do the an-eye-for-an-eye immediate justice. Anyone can call it whatever they want since the justice system can not be trusted! Ndi ara!

Injustics everywhere


How can this be called mansluaghter - seven years for killing a full flaged human being?

Injustice to the highest order

It is manslaughter because the killing was likely done in “the heat of passion” i.e. she had sufficient provocation to commit the act, and there was no premeditation on her part.

For instance, if she found her husband in bed with another woman, and she got so enraged that she attacked him with a knife which led to his death, a prosecutor would interprete her act as that of manslaughter rather than murder.

Essentially, murder requires premeditation, while manslaughter does not.

It's murder or attempted murder that carries a sentence for life imprisonment or the death penalty. The facts of the case and peculiar circumstances plays a major role in sentencing.

l agree with your position

Ugly woman....just 7 years? Na wa

its quite alarming that a lot of Nigerian youth cannot differentiate between murder and manslaughter. The exhibit and evidence presented in the case would have helped to determined which of the two was her offense.

DID YOU KNOW THAT? IF YOU KNOW A PERSON DOWN ON A HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED (Third mainland bridge, Ikorodu, Lagos-Ibadan express way, e.t.c) IT IS NOT MURDER BUT MANSLAUGHTER.

We need to learn more in this country.

That's a power of a good lawyer, thi can happen anywhere in the world. A poor man has no money to hire a good lawyer

Nigeria judicial system is worse than drinking garri with hot dirty water.

Hmmm,
the criminal code says life imprisonment naa or is that a maximum punishment that leaves the court with discretion?

Realfitbody:

Manslaughter... I was expecting she was going to be in there for sometime longer. But I am sure most men could be scared of ever stepping down the aisle with her.

A womao kills her husband while he is sleeping and THERE IS NO PREMEDITATION?!

Anyway, i question the intelligence and commitment of the prosecution lawyer!!

tofolo:
And after 3 and half years she would be free?

This ur meme sef

Gloryr:
They should appeal this judgment... Or is it because she is a woman?

Just 7yrs....she will serve the short term, come out relocate and start life a fresh while the man is lying stone cold in his grave.

Men are gradually becoming endangered in this country... Education and civilization has spoilt alot of things sha.

That's just a slap on the wrist for the loss of a human's life.

ekems2017:
Seven years imprisonment for killing someone and life imprisonment for stealling yam and plantain. Our judges dey try wel wel.

Well, the one that killed her husband too in Lagos State over the Loto that her husband played was also given seven years or less. Nothing new, it's a trend. And yes, it is because they are women.

Looking @ all this rubbish one might want to consider jungle justice....



What kind of none sense judges do we have in this country.....

Jungle justice is still d best in this part of the world, wish they could extend it to the politicians too.

yeyerolling:
Later pple go say jungle justice is bad. 3.5 years only. Haaa

Bros, jungle justice is the best as regards to punishment for this women. I don't need law court at all

A very dangerous trend,we are encouraging people to just kill each other in their matrionial home, since I can get 7 years, let me kill this person when I come out I continue my life....... give them 20 years, 25 years or more it'll be a deterent.....naija na wa

That is not acceptable. That is injustice and slap on justice. Judiciary has come again with its usual thing, corruption. That is perversion of justice. That is not acceptable to us

Not really, but if the prosecution cannot prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt, the court cannot punish the accused with the maximum penalty. So long as a little doubt was created, it works to the advantage of the accused person.

nkemdi89:
Fair enough, after all its not murder.

Please do you have a heart? I hope you don’t have a brother.

cruelty to justice and could make people take laws into their own hand

And the judge may have taken into account some mitigating factors whilst preparing the verdict. It may have been her first felonious offense.
