Two Nigerians have been sentenced to death by hanging for kidnapping and killing four girls in Takoradi in 2018.

Samuel Udoetuk-Wills and John Oji were sent to the gallows yesterday by the Sekondi High Court, presided over by Justice Richard Adjei-Frimpong, a Justice of the Court of Appeal, sitting as a High Court judge.

That was after a seven-member jury found them guilty on eight counts of murder.

Justice Adjei-Frimpong reminded the two convicts of their right to file an appeal within 30 days.

The two men will swell the number of prisoners on the death roll to 162.

During the investigation, Wills mentioned John Oji as his accomplice and on June 4, 2019, Oji was also arrested at Aflao on the Ghana-Togo border.

Further investigations by the police between August 2 and 6, 2019, led to the discovery of skeletal remains in a septic tank in the residence of Wills at Kansawrodo, a suburb of Sekondi, and in a well around the uncompleted building, where he was recaptured.

The DNA tests conducted on the skeletal remains matched the DNA samples obtained from the parents of the victims and proved that the skeletal remains were those of the four girls and that they were all dead.
