Na jazz,no bi ordinary eye.

the guy juju na original

this judge should be lynched instead for taking bribe and abuse of office

This is why magistrates are regarded as 2nd class citizens in d judiciary. Smh

?

Manslaughter at least.

That magistrate should be sacked.....and the crook rearrainged.

ok, this is what happened, in that scenario, the dead guy stole the accused aluminium roofing sheet, i.e the dead guy is a thief, (who knows maybe na 1 notorious and deadly thief sef), and unluckily for the dead guy, he was caught or something, who knows maybe its in d process, maybe the punishment meted on him was too much or something, and he passed on, and as we know nija police, they charged the man whose item was stolen (the accused) to court, but for the judge to be a reasonable fellow set him free and discard the case, which should really be the right thing in a sane environment. NICE JUDGMENT

Even after reading your comments, many still didn't understand that the guy's SIN was catching and beating the Thief who eventually died.

The judge really delivered a Good judgment.

Like seriously!

Nobody died.

How did yall pass SSCE English?

An Ijede Magistrates’ Court near Ikorodu, Lagos State on Tuesday discharged a man, Kazeem Ajiga, who allegedly lynched another man for stealing his aluminium roofing sheets.

Ajiga was arraigned on Tuesday for taking laws into his hands by executing jungle justice on a suspect, Raheem Omoyele, whom he accused of stealing his property.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Omoyele was on Monday brought before Olagbegi-Adelabu on a charge of stealing 25 aluminium roofing sheets belonging to Ajiga.

The Magistrate, Mrs Jumoke Olagbegi-Adelabu rules that Since Ajiga has shown remorse, caution and did not waste this court’s time by pleading guilty, I hereby discharge him and strike out the case

He did not kill the victim if the summary is correct , but rather gross bodily harm and attempted murder

Nigerians don't read to comprehend! it's clearly stated that the dead guy was a CRIMINAL! the accused acted spontaneously and the criminal ended up dead....know the judge has decided to let the accused go free because of his attitude of remorse and guilt plea.....I don't see what is wrong in what the judge has done.

I am not a lawyer...but that is a case for manslaughter really....not a case of murder...or even for discharge and acquittal.

Unless he could prove that he acted in self defence.

What is reasonable about killing your fellow man over aluminium sheets? why not charge him to court? you cant just set a killer loose coz he supposedly showed remorse for a heinous crime.

You cant take the law into your hands. At the least that is 'manslaughter'. Its a civilized society not a jungle

Cant u read, did they talk about anyone getting killed

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Omoyele was on Monday brought before Olagbegi-Adelabu on a charge of stealing 25 aluminium roofing sheets belonging to Ajiga.

The person above me: you need to read it again. There was a murder!

However I don't believe this story. Magistrate court don't even have the jurisdiction to try murder.

Secondly assuming the case was in the appropriate court the judge would have no such discretion to discharge a murder suspect based on remorse.

Well, it's a tricky situation. If the original thief wasn't in any way a threat to the convict i.e. didn't threaten the convict with any weapon, I don't see why the convict should lynch him.
At the minimum, I expected the judge to sentence the convict to some months in prison in order to discourage jungle justice.

see u, when policeman in pursuit of a robbery suspect guns him down, u will shout jungle justice, crucify him. the judge could have given him @least one yr in prison. the punishment of murder is dead or life imprisonment. judge didnt consider the children of the victim.

I still do not find murder in this case. Ajiga assaulted Raheem Omoyele for stealing his{Ajiga's} roofing sheets. Ajiga charged to court on assault{taking laws into his hands by lynching Omoyele} On the other hand, Omoyele was also charged to court for stealing. So, where is the murder? Perhaps, Vanguard omitted that part of the story or there's mix-up somewhere.

There was no intention to murder the guy. Na mistake, just like Zimmerman vs Trayvon Martins.

Whizkid (thief) tif aluminium roofing sheets belonging to Timaya

Timaya catch am kill am. police catch timaya say him kill Whizkid

Judge says Timaya should go home because Timaya (owner of aluminum roofing sheet) says he kill whizkid (thief)

So where is the justice gone wrong

He might be guilty of involuntuary manslaughter

I pity most youths in Nigeria.....the way most people think

maybe u b underground thief lol, if u meet a robber and u know fully well u have the power to gun him down first, say u don't want jungle justice, allow him to kill u first, u hear??

I'm at a loss as to how the guy was charged with murder in the first place, if the bolded is true... some people didn't do their job well before reporting this news

agreed with u, but who knows the real scenario only then we can judge. I fink the judge understand bera than us, cos she might have gotten some first hand infos than us here on NL

Regardless of the criminal-victim's crime , the accused has no right to mete out punishment or even kill him.
The judge should at least have sentenced him for manslaughter.
This emotional judge just freed a murderer and I hope police appeal the case.
Note that this is not different from the Aluu 4 case.
