bless you,this was all I was asking about,yea people don't get executed like in the 80's the judge just passes his damn judgement and the culprit rots away in the cell for years,some ends up getting some state pardon while most dies in the cell,after spending years waiting for their execution,why not give them a jail term instead of a death sentence that won't materialize,the other day a judge in Ogun state jailed a woman for donkey years,have forgotten the exact number of years cuz it wasn't a life sentence,the judge himself can never outlive the span,so what's the essence of such stupid laws and verdicts?still waiting for the day a corrupt government official will be given a dose of what the law actually says,until then,this country is just a huge joke.

streetzdreamz:
Mr,I don't have to know who you are before I voice out ma opinions about you,you prolly failed to understand my posts,if you did I don't understand why you would claim am giving out an excuse for robbery,all I spoke out against was the harsh sentence he got,I said nothing about the meagre amount he stole,just the death sentence,and a question if there are no saner verdicts for armed robbers,if the death sentence is the only verdict,I asked this question cuz I don't know much about the silly law the country is running,and here you are replying my question with the same question,say:who has comprehension issues now?

Not absurd but de Gea or Smalling for me.

when you say a thing to an individual,and he responds with a word totally off track,then you either talking to a wall or the fellow lacks good comprehension skills,it wasn't an insult,it was an observation....yes have been robbed,not once not twice,robbers are ruthless when caught they should pay for their crime,I ain't disputing that,the question you failed to answer is,why should he get a death sentence of all verdicts,since the law has various ways of dealing with robbers.

streetzdreamz:
seems you have comprehension issues,re read ma post and point out where I justified the culprits actions,am telling you about the injustice,and corruption in our judicial system and you talking another,since you can't comprehend me words,all am trying to say is that,the law should take its course in all ramifications,and no exceptions made for some sets of individuals irrespective of their position in the society,a poor man commits crime,a rich man commits the same crime,they should be given the same verdict,got it?plus is a death sentence the only verdict for robbers? if yes,why do we have robbers serving jail terms in the country?? if no why must this man be executed?? if you can't answer this simple questions,then stay off me mention.

Infinitikoncept:
As long as this write up is concerned none of such was said. Its a case of stealing. If he was a murderer then ni one will pity him on this thread

streetzdreamz:
perfect,in Indonesia drug trafficking attracts a death penalty, irrespective of your gender,nationality, status,or believes,the law stands its grounds,that's a sane law!!!now if our law holds the same grounds for crimes,robbery,stealing,murder,rape,any crime whatsoever that poses a threat to human lives,attracts a death penalty,and this judgement is carried out irrespective of the age,status,tribe,nationality,gender and all other things,then it would be a just and sane law,our law in this country ain't a just law,as it condemns only its helpless,poor citizens a C.P once told me how this sh*ts works,a wealthy mans son commits murder and the case is brought forward to him,the next day he gets an alert or some land papers,the culprit goes free,thesame would have been the fate of this man,if he had some powerful means behind him,this ain't justice,the law is no respecter of anyone,but in this country the law respects the rich and that ain't just, an unjust law aint no law at all!

stagger:
The moment a robbery is committed with a firearm, even if the amount stolen is N20, it carries a death sentence. That is the law in Nigeria. Armed robbery is an offence punishable by death in Nigeria. That is how it is. So all these sentiments based on the amount stolen will not have any effect on the prescribed penalty for the offence. Once it is proven that the assailant carried a firearm, that is it.

driand:
let's be mindful of what we say, this guy didn't steal he robbed, not just robbery, ARMED ROBBERY... He has been in prison b4 and instead of him seeing it as a lesson der, he joined a ROBBERY GANG, so i have no pity for him he deserves whatever judgment that's passed on him no matter how small the amount.

400billionman:
Dont think he was caught this year..

tasceige:
Not even a murder case...
This Judge though arghn arghn, worse comes to worst he should just serve jail terms and community services

amtaken:
His long-term trial stems from our slow judicial system.


That nevertheless, he has been found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction and should be punished accordingly.



No sentiments in Law.

streetzdreamz:
bullsh*t, this ain't some sympathetic claims, its outrageous and inhuman,did the accused commit a crime of murder? yes he stole,so f*cking what? yes am indifferent to his crime because this country celebrate rich thieves,so why must poor thieves pay the price with their lives?howbeit their predicaments might have been different if the rich thieves did the right thing with the funds in their care,why wasn't he jailed?why a death sentence? serial killers gets life sentence in some cases,a petty thief and a death sentence and you quoting some dead stupid law,If wishes were horses,the judge won't even last the day!!!!

400billionman:
Dont forget that guy has been in prison since 2003. Delayed trial.

The judge nah one sadist.

amtaken:
Most of the people here who are sympathetic towards the armed robber's plight here are not different from him or how can a sane person defend a man who has been involved in series of armed-robberies and has probably wasted many lives in the course of the robberies. Even if he's yet to waste a life, what is the guarantee that he wouldn't have done so in the nearest future if he wasn't apprehended? Also once any of the gang members kills a soul, it is assumed by the law that all the members who were part of the crime are participants in the murder/armed robbery. Quote me anywhere.

Ojayk:
A crime that was commited in 2003 is being given a judgement in december 2015, why was this man's judgement delayed uptill today? shouldnt the judiciary take blame for delaying judgement?
the guy choose to defend himself probably because he cant afford a lawyer and dosent trust the government lawyer to aid him out.
he may have confessed out of the truma and phsycological toture expirenced over his long stay in awaiting trial status.
is death by hanging the only option before the biased judge for such a crime? what is the difference between him and others returning billions of naira secretly to PMB?
this to me is an unfair judgement considering the time of the act, time of judgement delivery, the type of judgement given to the man, the amount involved etc
the judge should have taken into consideration of the failure of the judiciary to dispense justice on time, the amount involved vis-a-vis what is happening in our society before giving such crystal clear biased judgement. that guy i believe must be a product of a failled society in which those that plundered the society are being rewarded with No prosecution and even minsterial appointment.
the man cant even appeal going by his economic condition
the death of that man would be one this nation would not forget in a hurry.

queenfav:
you may be right o.Some criminals prefer being in prison.I have been in court when an accused was acquitted of his charges.He guy has spent 7 yrs awaiting trial.He started weeping that he doesn't want to be free because he has no family,job or house to return to.The judge weak that day sha.

queenfav:
You have said it all o,Because from start to finish,it appreared that he was sabotaging his own case.Yapping his mouth up and down,confessing to both past and present crimes.its either the free prison food or home trouble!

queenfav:
No be my client so I can't be angry he confessed na.Besides the 7 witnesses called are not all his victims.He robbed 3 person(the victims),the remaining 4 prosecution witnesses would most likely be the IPO and eye witnesses.

MadCow1:
If he plead guilty, why then did the prosecution need to call 7 witnesses and why is he getting the death penalty?


Does pleading guilty in Nigerian law not grant the Perp any leniency during sentencing?




Ekiti Judges sha..

queenfav:
lol..first of all the fact that the prosecution brought 7 witnesses does'nt mean they were all his victims.Besides if the prosecutor calls even 100 witnesses,its how best the defence attorney can discredit them by cross examination to create reasonable doubt that counts.If he had a lawyer,any reasonable doubt in the case would have gone in his favour and earned him a reduced sentence.The fact that he opened his big mouth to confess was his undoing.He was already warming up to the maximum sentence by doing that.

repogirl:
He isn't a murderer, he is an armed robber....big difference.
If he killed someone,then he would be a murderer.

In developed countries, the death penalty is reserved for people who kill without remorse... Most times for no defendable reason at all.

This sentence is too harsh.

queenfav:
That's why I say the accused was acting upon a curse from home.Why on earth would he decide to defend himself.Was he a lawyer in his former life?Besides if the accused insists on defending himself,the court cannot force a lawyer on him.The judge will only put it on record to show that the accused made that choice voluntarily, and oblige his request.The state compulsorily provides a lawyer for the accused where he cannot afford one.In this case the accused decided that he was going to defend himself.The judge could have persuaded him though,letting him know what is at stakes.But again, when you meet some stubborn accused persons,you'll understand.They are self so distructive that they won't even follow your legal counsel.At the end it backfires, then they start saying 'had I known'.

amtaken:
You people are only worried about the little amount of money he stole forgetting that Armed Robbery attracts Capital Punishment under the Robbery and Fire Arms Law of the Federation, 2004.








He was armed, probably with a gun or any other deadly weapon therefore must be executed unless he's granted amnesty.

They didn't lie nah. It should have been 0. But thanks to Terry's slip and late minute miracle.

He was a local champion

MysticZeus:
