jessykings: Why don't you people ever read the articles before commenting. The thief stabbed the victim IN HIS HEAD! He wanted to kill a person because of phone. |

No doubt, the judge is too harsh,although the criminality of the suspect cannot be overuled. By the way what of the political pen robbers that stole the public fund?. I think they deserved public execution. |

ITbomb:Life imprisonment is as good as death sentence, if you ask me. And it's an overreach for his crime. |

This is miscarriage of justice. |

bakynes: So you actually read the story........... Na E be say na lack of understanding/miscommunication bring wahala. Well, to start with Godfrey emmanuel can not be charged with a death sentence because he is 14years and is a minor. Ordinarily I expect him to serve that sentence in a juvenile facility because he is under-aged. Tope abiodun is an adult at 23 and as such is legally responsible for whatever action Godfrey takes, hence the death sentence since they both collaborated on the robbery........ Infact, a good lawyer could have even argued freedom for Godfrey, highest one or 2 months in a juvenile centre or a home for boys, all he needs to do is make a case for the innocence of Godfrey at that age and how Tope abused it and Godfrey panicked and stab the owner in the process. Though I believe that the sentence was avoidable, if they could afford to pay for good legal counsel, all would have escaped with jail terms but since they dont have cash to spare................OYO 2 Likes 1 Share |

Iamsammy: You certainly don't know what you are talking about.assignment for you. Go and check the meaning of manslaughter, murder and armed robbery in a dictionary |

The death penalty for stealing a phone! While those who have rubbed this country of Billions of dollars are still walking free. What an hypocritic justice system!! |

It seems most peeps on nairaland don't read to understand, all they need is just read the heading and then jump to conclusions, Sha, I won't blame them, the heading was very sensational. All those whining are just been sentimental, it's not easy been a judge, you have to be as pragmatic as possible whether it seem fair to the outside world or not. In this case the judge was right, although I'm very sure the death sentence would be appealed against and probably reduced to just a fine. |

bakynes: Please quote the law let us confirm! It is not about killing, it is about robbing with a weapon! They are a team. If there are 10 armed robbers and only one has a gun, they are all armed robbers. Or do you call the others thieves? Please am waiting for the law so I can learn more. Thank you 1 Like |

bakynes:they should go on an appeal...period! How did you know who stabbed the victim? They were together and in the eye of the law the older one influenced the younger guy. They pleaded for mercy on his behalf. |

Nigeria constitution only work on citizens who stole pin-nut and mangoes, but never haver effects on the leaders who are stealing the money that worth the country's assets.... God help us in this country... and God will judge their own case.... |

Caseless:We both know why you made this statement but trust me na you go tire last last on this forum. *@ topic, the punishment probably wouldn't have been this severe if intent to kill or cause bodily harm wasn't involved. ©YBR |

YoungBlackRico:you know why I said what I said, but you went on to tell why the punishment was severe. You have cognitive dissonance. I'm not a tribalist, but i'll speak up when you kill in 'repraisal' for a vulcanizer who was never killed or celebrate that action. Call me a tribalist for that. I've been on this forum for close to 8 years, what do u think i've not seen on here? |

The judgement is too harsh o, those who stole billions are still walking free on the streets. |

the judge is high on something and a disgrace to judiciary |
Re: 23-year-old Man Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Stealing Phone by ThinkSmarter: 9:52am On Mar 21, 2017 |
Caseless:I understood it clearly, but since the victim did not die but only sustained injury, the Judge should have sentenced him to some years in prison. Death by hanging is too much for the offense |
Re: 23-year-old Man Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Stealing Phone by Maghan37: 9:58am On Mar 21, 2017 |
Iamsammy:He committed attempted murder & not manslaughter but also armed robbery which carries a death sentence. |
Re: 23-year-old Man Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Stealing Phone by ManTiger(m): 9:59am On Mar 21, 2017 |
Jerryojozy:It is not the phone persay, it is the manner of which the owner of the phone was disposed. He requested for help, out of pity and goodwill the guy offered to help and he tried to kill him to disposes him in the process. |

The judgment can only be good only in country where pen robbers whose robbery has been causing more harm, suffering and death in large numbers received similar punishment. ( china) |

Caseless:Thank you for confirming that. You are in no position to say someone has cognitive dissonance. Let's hope you can handle what you'll be seeing henceforth... ©YBR |
