Law and thought are distinct from each other.

The law should recognize that public or elevated offices can be weaponized. That's what the politicians do to haul out generational welfare of citizens and fellow countrymen and women to their possession.

xperiencelove:
If you go through our constitutional law, administrative law, civil law, criminal law and international law, you will find out our law is all-encompasing and recognized more than what you suggested but lack enforcement. Nigeria have not produce a leader without blemish that can enforce our law as it is enforced in developed countries.

Fireandblood:
exactly, the Nigerian justice system is total bullshit. this is 10yrs at most. may the judge that made this sentence watch their own children's lives get destroyed. bastard

yongg:


This is depressing. That should even be beyond the grasp of said leader. It is supposed to be a system.

The judiciary should be having words with the stakeholders. But it is flawed here and the judiciary is effectively absent a good number of the times and channel resources to service things like elections or to do with big public office holders, meanwhile the rest of the demand of justice to keep the society cohesive is largely unmet and then the process is not streamlined for efficient delivery and enforcement.

xperiencelove:
To begin with, we have tense on senators, rep members, governors with dual citizenship which is unconstitutional. How can they enforce the law they themselves are quilt!

You did the crime, you do the time.

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

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.

Morphinne:

Well I understand your view chief and the judge should have tempered justice with mercy at least Bubu sef dey forgive repentant boko Haram terrorist. 10-15 years sentence is still okay to get them to repent. I just found out now that they even locked d security guard in charge of the apartment rather than killing or injuring him.

The judgement was so rash, i had to read the article again and never came across where they inflict bodily harm on their victims

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.

Morphinne:

Emotionally, you may be right but do you think they would still not have used those weapons if they had faced resistance? Should we wait and Fold our arms until they start taking lives in the course of their robbery adventure? This and many more to come will help serve as deterrents to other aspiring criminals. Being lenient on people like these will only foster more and more criminality in our society. Just imagine Nigeria was still practicing the execution by firing squad capital punishment like we used to have it during the military era, the rate of armed robbery, ritual killings and many other social vices would have reduced significantly.

Simplythebest:
It doesn't warrant life imprisonment and i didn't see where the said the use it to cut their victims. Am not making excuses for the robbers but for justice and fair judgment this case doesn't require life imprisonment. Thanks

Simplythebest:
U don't understand what am saying oga or madam smart how can someone that rob a phone get life imprisonment where did u see that

Devil1Messenger:

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

Ifakiland:

Ifakiland:

Ifakiland:
