I don't see where you are coming from.

Armed robbery is a grievous crime and should not in anyway be compared with pen robbery.

Yrs, politicians, yahoo boys, corrupt civil servants and lecturers should be severely dealt with but their crimes are significantly different.

Two brothers cry a river after they were sentenced to life imprisonment for armed robbery in Lagos

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of an Ikeja Special Offences Court has sentenced a domestic worker, Genesis Ezebong, his brother, Micheal and one Ikade Moses, to life imprisonment for armed robbery in the Palm Groove area of Lagos State.

The convicts were arraigned on December 18, 2020 while the trial commenced on January 11, 2022. The prosecution counsel, Omowumi Bajulaye, during the arraignment of the convicts, had told the court that they committed the offence of conspiracy and armed robbery on January 13, 2019, at No 222 Ikorodu Road, Palm Groove, Lagos.

She said that the trio while armed with cutl@ss, shovel and other dangerous weapons, robbed one Daniel of one Compact Laptop, one Apple laptop, gold and costumes, jewelleries, Blackberry phones, one digital camera, soccer shoes and two other phones belonging to one Titilope Akeredolu. The prosecution, during trial, called three witnesses and tendered documents such as defendants’ statements which were admitted as exhibits.

The witnesses who had testified before the court included Inspector Okunade Olumuyiwa, Titilope Akeredolu and Investigative Police officer and Inspector Olawale Oni. They had narrated to the court how Akeredolu’s domestic worker conspired with others, who were armed with dangerous weapons, broke into his boss’s house with his gang after he had left to church, and locked the security man as well as other occupants in the toilet.

Akeredolu said after she went to church on Sunday morning, she received a call from her security man who told her that the first convict, Genesis Ezebong, her domestic staff, broke into her apartment with a cutlass and stole her things.

The judge held that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt, the circumstantial evidence against the defendants whils sentencing them.

Vibekiller:
Good!!..
Soon they'll have mind to kill who ever that resist when they Rob

acorntree:


So robbing with a cutlass is a grievous and scammers and fraudsters are non grievous. Do you know how many life's has been destroyed due to activities of this corrupt people. It's only China that really got it right by executing corrupt politician. We will continue living in our present pathetic situation if we continue to reason like this. Arm robbery is bad , equally politician stealing billions is also grievous. Both should be sentenced to life imprisonment or death by hanging

This is pure madness from the judge
There is nowhere in the world that u will give a capital punishment for arm robbery
If I'm a lawyer, I will take up that case and use it to gain popularity by making a mockery of the judge and the judgement

I can bet anything that you have not eaten any decent meal in weeks accept u went to a party in ur street. In fact u are drink garri n salt while typing this nonsense with ur #200 mtn data!

They really swear for u people!

Anigreat:



If you know you won't be able to bear or face the consequences, don't commit the crime.

Even Tinubu, the crime lord, it may seems all is well with him, but let me tell you the truth, the thief and drug lord do wish he never ventured into crime, because it's the reason for his shaky shaky hands and constant urination such that he messed up his agbada once .

Why will dey sentence people to life for armed robbery,,
Stupid judiciary

Simplythebest:
This crime doesn't require life imprisonment cus no life was lost and they didn't even use gun. Some years in the prison is better for correction and repentant. Thats my own thought. Pls don't come and attack me

Zimmermann:
Ignorance in market overt
So the law will wait for the criminals to put their weapons to use on innocent ppl abi? Then after somebody must have needlessly lost his/her life to urchins, then the law will run to the party

rusher14:


It wasn't capital punishment.

It was jail time and I'm sure the judge followed guidelines.

dollynnn:


It should have even been a death sentence

The maximum punishment for Armed Robbery is a Death Penalty

LeoDeKing:
They should free dem jor.

Pandora hoebi needs campaign fund.

Afterall, Tinubu has not been arrested after being the governor General of SE for 8 years.

I actually read in between the lines several times to know if I skipped any thing. They didn't kill any one yet life imprisonment was the option. Nigeria lawyers are something else
