A Plateau State High Court sitting in Barkin Ladi on Wednesday sentenced a 34-year-old dismissed solider, Sunday Umaru, to death by hanging, for hacking his lover to death over a text message, he found on her phone.

Justice S.P. Gang handed down the sentence after finding Umaru guilty of killing his girlfriend, Charity Thomas, on January 23, 2016.

Delivering the judgment, Gang declared that Umaru “mercilessly took the life of Charity Thomas in cold blood” and had to face the full wrath of the law.

“This sentence is mandatory; the law states that any person convicted of murder shall be punished with death by hanging.

“The sentence of this court upon you is that you, Sunday Umaru, will be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on your soul,’’ Gang declared.

NAN recalls that Umaru, an ex-military man, was dragged before the court on July 14, 2016, for allegedly killing his lover.

Umaru, a married man, was a Private in the Nigerian Army and was serving at the Special Task Force (STF), Sector 7, Barkin Ladi, at the time of the incident, on January 23, 2016.

At his arraignment, Umaru faced a charge of culpable homicide.

He was specifically accused of killing his lover, Charity, who visited him from Kaduna State, by stabbing her with a knife in the stomach, slaughtering her thereafter and dumping the body by the roadside.

According to the prosecutor, Emmanuel Awe, the accused person committed the crime on January 23, 2016 in Barkin Ladi Local Government area of Plateau State.

Awe, while reading out the charge, said that Charity’s lifeless body was found the next day, January 24, 2016, by neighbours and some soldiers, who trailed the blood marks to the accused person’s house.

“Friends of the accused, who were the military men that evacuated the body, also recognised the girl as Umaru’s lover, who was seen with him the previous day.”

The accused, he further told the court, quickly fled his base and returned to his family at the Rukuba Barracks in Bassa Local Government.

The prosecutor said that a team of military men mobilised and went after the accused and arrested him at his home in the barracks, while in the company of his family.

He said that during the investigation, the police discovered several gory pictures and videos of the deceased that the accused took with his phone, immediately after the murder.

NAN also reports that the Nigerian Army quickly tried the accused and dismissed Umaru after finding him guilty of killing his lover.

Counsel to the accused, Mr David Adudu, told NAN after the judgment that he was not satisfied with the death sentence death passed by the court.

“I will get a copy of the judgment, study same and raise possible grounds for an appeal,” he said.

That is if he know the maker.

We shall all Stand before God to give account of what we have done...

He is lucky.....he can say the words of repentance and accept Jesus before the hangman's job is done...

..and his sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus... Regardless of how terrible it might be.... This is what Jesus said...

God said. Even if your sins are as red as scarlet.... They shall be white as snow. . ...

What can be more terrible?

Jesus forgives it all if one repents genuinely.

Apostle Paul engineered the stoning of Stephen.... and he later said. ..I wrong no one...

Really?

Yes.... It's because he has been forgiven....

Many are not so lucky. ...... .they just die suddenly in their sin....

Accept Jesus and be saved... Enter the ark of Salvation before it is too late.

The flood is coming.
