He was armed, probably with a gun or any other deadly weapon therefore must be executed unless he's granted amnesty.

That's why I say the accused was acting upon a curse from home.Why on earth would he decide to defend himself.Was he a lawyer in his former life?Besides if the accused insists on defending himself,the court cannot force a lawyer on him.The judge will only put it on record to show that the accused made that choice voluntarily, and oblige his request.The state compulsorily provides a lawyer for the accused where he cannot afford one.In this case the accused decided that he was going to defend himself.The judge could have persuaded him though,letting him know what is at stakes.But again, when you meet some stubborn accused persons,you'll understand.They are self so distructive that they won't even follow your legal counsel.At the end it backfires, then they start saying 'had I known'.

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.

In the midst of ignorance flowing on this thread, you walked in and oozed nothing but perfect understanding of the law and a high level of intelligence. You have made my day, God bless you.

Hope Saraki and Dansaki can get this kin judgment to teach others lesson. If a citizen can get death penalty for robbery less than 15k. Whats stopping the top politician from facing the firing squad. Most especially Dansuki. The souls of those who die from boko haram menace will not let you and everyone who took part in the arms deal scam know peace. DAMBOROBA SEIGE .

too much unnecessary talk, thats why i hate noisy trail of Dasuki and co that will soon amount to nothing. Unfortunately, the weapons, jets and helicopters Dasuki bought is the one Buhari is using on Boko boys.

JOKE OF THE DAY I THINK .

DONSMITH123:
An Ado-Ekiti High Court, yesterday, sentenced one David Olugboyega to death by hanging for armed robbery involving N14,570.
Justice John Adeyeye passed the judgment following the confessional statement of the convict and the conclusion of trial by the prosecution.

“An accused may be convicted on his own confession alone as long as the court was satisfied. Based on the confessional statement of the accused, the court found him guilty as charged. Besides, the prosecution has also proved his case beyond reasonable doubt by providing seven witnesses.

“The accused is hereby sentenced to death by hanging. This will serve as deterrent to others in the society. May God have mercy on your soul,” he said.

During trial, the prosecutor, Mr Alaba Adeyemi, told the court that the convict committed the offence on March 20, 2003 at Araromi Street, Ikere -Ekiti.

He said the convict, armed with dangerous weapons including gun and cutlass, robbed three people of N14,570.

Specifically, Adeyemi said the convict robbed Kola Owolabi of N8,000; Beatrice Olawumi, N5,000 and Idowu Abiodun, N1,570.

The prosecution called seven witnesses to prove the case.

The convict, who made confessional statement at the police station, opted to defend himself without a lawyer.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and also confessed to have been involved in series of robberies. The convict confessed to have joined a gang when he was in a prison.

africa China song jst came into me immediately I hope dasuki n co gets s same judgement if found guilty Fuckd judicial system that can only convict the poor

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

welcome to nigeria the hypocritical nation.... ....would dasuki et al die by hanging too for embezzling billions of naira

amtaken:
Do you know what fire arms are used for?



They are used in killing people, that is, taking the life of others.




Execution of armed robbers will always serve as a deterrent to would-be-armed robbers.


By the way why are you having sympathy for murderers?





#hmnnnnnnnn

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.

God bless Nigeria and take us to our cannanland ohhh..... This is serious

What a wicked nigerian,what happen to nigerian politicians and president who are soul damagers by stealing

[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.

There's what they call plea bargain that should reduce his sentence to less than 10yrs. He accepted and no murder or rape recorded.

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"

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.

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..

queenfav:
The accused brought the death penalty upon himself.Even when you are caught by the police with the gun in your hand,you don't say anything till your lawyer gets there!The mumu had to give a confessioonal statement to crucify himself.That was what nailed him!A lawyer would have defended him better.First by moving to retract the confessional statement on grounds of duress by the police.The judge probably saw him as someone who didn't want to put up a fight to be free and went all in with the death sentence.He can appeal sha,he stands a good chance.Because he was obviously acting without the enlightenment of what a lawyer could have done to help his case.

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.

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.

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.

Are you a Lawyer?

queenfav:
the guy opted to defend himself without a lawyer na..Dumbest move ever!

Lesson learnt . I am optimistic tho... Civil rights groups are seeing this.

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...

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.

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.

What about the present and past governor and other government officials and politicians that stole millions? Should they and their family not suffer worse fate? Silly judiciary!

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.
