2 Police Officers Sentenced To Death For Armed Robbery by arinze198(op): 6:19am On Feb 18, 2022
Two Police officers attached to Anti-terrorism unit, James Ejeh and Simeon Abraham, have been sentenced to death for armed robbery as the Judge submitted they deserved no pity for the offence committed in the Federal Capital territory, Abuja.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that it was the judgement of Justice Peter Kekemeke of an FCT High Court on Thursday on the two later dismissed Policemen for armed robbery.

The convicts were arraigned on 20th October, 2017 by the FCT Commissioner of Police on two counts of conspiracy and armed robbery.

While delivering judgment, Justice Kekemeke held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubts by calling four witnesses.

Kekemeke held that the evidence before the court proved that the convicts committed robbery while armed.

He also held that there was admission of guilt by the convicts and no evidence was stronger than their own admission.

“Left to me, I will say go and sin no more but it is about the law. It is about the law and the society. The law has placed a duty on me to carry this out.”

“Countless citizens of this country cry out under the security agencies especially the Police, who run their guns bought with the tax payers’ money against Nigerians extorting them with impunity.”

” Citizens have cried out on this dangerous trend of those people who are supposed to protect them turn against them.

“It is therefore imperative to make this serve as a deterrent to others who have the same tendencies.”

“They deserve no pity therefore. In any case, I have no choice because the law tied my hands to the only sentence prescribed by law.

“I hereby sentence the first and second defendants to death,” he held.

There's a tiny line between a super cop and a rogue cop.
The man who is legalized to carry gun & relate with civilians daily requires focus & discipline because you can easily be compromise.

GBEM! CASE DISMISSED. IF JUDGEMENT LIKE THIS CAN BE PASSED TO SOME TRIGGER-HAPPY, INCOMPETENT AND LIFE-HACKERS POLICE PEOPLE, I THINK NIGERIA WILL BE A BETTER PLACE.

Right but sadly, we can't have that yet until we get rid of nepotism, favoritism, tribal bigotry etc.

Our Judiciary is a mess. How can a judge say "his hands are tied"? Would he say such if it was a common criminal? And we wonder why Nigeria is such a big mess.
