queenfav: I think he left the prosecutor and the judge no choice. First he said he went to prison before, from where he joined a gang of robbers. Secondly, he confessed to have been involved in series of robberies which means he is a hardened criminal. Thirdly, the prosecutor was able to bring 7 witnesses against him. Seven! Haba! You people still pity someone who robbed 7 different people? People should look beyond the amount. Robbering is the worst form of crime. When one faces a robber, one's life is at his mercy until the operation is ended. Why should someone possess a gun at all, then used the gun to disarm another person of his belongings. |

I am becoming averse to the idea of Capital punishments. The death penalty has no place in the neo-civilization man is building. Countries without the death penalty record the lowest crimes. Let's push for the gradual phase out of this barbaric practice in Nigeria. -Lord 1 Like |

amtaken: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. 2 Likes |

[color=#000099] I can't believe Nigerians are defending an armed robber. People are defending someone who confessed to serial robbery. Someone seven witnesses testified against. He said he had been to prison before. Have you people been robbed before? [/color] |

Very funny country nigeria, a man is about to hanged for N14,500= while the same judges will grant bail and free medical trips abroad for some people who steal N2bn dollars. 1 Like |

There's what they call plea bargain that should reduce his sentence to less than 10yrs. He accepted and no murder or rape recorded. |
Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by TruthHurts1(m): 8:21am On Dec 04, 2015 |
Nigerian politicians loot billions. They return a few millions in the name of returning stolen public funds and they are free to enjoy the rest of their stolen loot. This poor man stole 14k. He confessed in open court unlike 99% of the criminals in this country. And as a reward, he got a death sentence. Nigeria may not be a zoo like the Biafrans say, but it is more like animal farm: "Some animals are more equal than others" |
Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by queenfav(f): 8:23am On Dec 04, 2015 |
elampiro: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. |

As far as I am concerned, every armed robbery warrant a capital punishment regardless of the amount involved. Robbers can kill their victim for an amount as cheap as #500. He deserves it though the Judge should temper justice with mercy. 99yrs imprisonment is better. 1 Like |

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.. |
Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by repogirl(f): 8:25am On Dec 04, 2015 |
queenfav:Yes, he shouldn't have spoken without a lawyer present, as for an appeal, that would need money. Only the poor gets punished in this country. No justice for the poor at all. |
Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by queenfav(f): 8:26am On Dec 04, 2015 |
repogirl:That's it o..He was armed to get the victims to surrender their money.The fact that he didn't use it should have gone in his favour at sentencing.But again that's what only a lawyer would have been able to pull,but he decided to be his own lawyer.The death penalty in armed robbery cases is invoked where there was grievous bodily harm or murder committed in the course of the robbery.In other cases,the judge awards a sentence of life imprisonment based on his discretionary powers. 1 Like |

Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by elampiro(m): 8:28am On Dec 04, 2015 |
repogirl: That's not the law. The law says when one is caught robbing with a gun, etc. The reason is that you wouldn't know if he had killed in an operation before. He could also have killed in the operation he was captured if he was provoked or the person didn't cooperate. What was he doing with a gun in the first place? Owing a gun is 7 years imprisonment. Using it to operate is death sentence. Whether the person kills or not because the intention cannot fully be judged. Here we have this person confessing to many robberies, as well as seven witnesses (victims) coming to testify against him. |

The problem is the unevenness of justice in Nigeria. Steal a billion with a smile and you may never serve a sentence steal N1000 with a hardened face and you're a dead man... Banana Republic, Zoo Nation... |
Re: Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by Dhotseal(m): 8:32am On Dec 04, 2015 |
The problem is not with the amount, the problem is on the means of carrying out the crime. The law says that the punishment for armed robbery is death by hanging. So when u go rubbing armed with any weapon be it knives, guns or bomb, u are committing a capital crime whether the gun has bullets or not or whether the knife was sharp not. By the dictates of the law, the only sentence that can be handed down to somebody found guilty of robbery is death by hanging. 1 Like |

queenfav: So why are you angry he confessed? That's his headache. He knew the implication because he had been to prison before. His family people are obviously tired of him and they have since abadoned him. He probably refused to blend into the society. How are we sure he is not even enjoying prison? Prefers free food to working hard. |

elampiro: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. |
