Haba,the judge harsh o,
Death sentence for stealing 'ordinary phone' of 87k. Shoo! shocked Dat means if na murder d guy commit, even him spirit sef go follow face firing squad....lolz
I'm not a lawyer but I think society should be rid of people like that ,those guys are too dangerous to exist among humans, I don't think the sentence is based on stealing but rather the wicked attack, they could have killed a guy who offered to help save thier life

You must be stupid. Did you read well at all? Someone that nearly took the life of his victim with knife.. Nice judgement
When uneducated handles phone their first attack is insult. I'm not stupid. He didn't succeed. 50yrs in prison will be OK for his common sense to come back. Did u knw how many people 'yam eaters' hve killed with their pen? I bet u don't have idea.

You must be mad! I am sure you didnt read the article.

The boy stabbed the victim in his head after stealing his phone.

It was attempted murder
Does attempt murder warrants capital punishment? School me on this.

it seems you don't know me. I hardly come here these days, but when I have time, I'd match you anytime. As a kid just like you're on this forum years back, I could do that. Not anymore; I'm grown. Maybe you should ask about me again on this forum.

Didnt you read where they told the owner that they were robbed and the owner gave them his phone to call for help and then they stabbed him in the head? angry

Isnt that attempted murder? angry

Do you really have sense or you just didnt read the story at all...... angry
lf judges can temper mercy with justice for looters , I see no reason why it shouldn't be done here. Long term imprisonment will be OK.

I think it is a befitting sentence. Those who think diff did not read the story. The Igbo boy did not just steal the phone but also tried to commit murder. Stealing the iPhone is one thing but stabbing someone on the head for it is another thing entirely. It shows how despicable he is and a waste of society . If he can kill for an iPhone then I cannot imagine what he 'all do for a million naira.
The igbo boy was eventually released because he was under age

You're so right.....BUT I'm a lil bit confused here.... When did igbos start bearing TOPE ABIODUN as a name!?

And what they stole was an LG phone and not an iPhone...Not that it makes any difference though........they stole a phone and stabbed someone in the head......

Given the amount of trash you've managed to spew over the past few days, you are not exactly the kind of guy I'll like to ask around about 'cause I'm guessing what I'll find will be less dumb compared to what I'm seeing right now.

I read this story twice but stopped further reading as i was disturbed...

Three thugs attacked a guy with a phone with a deceptive story*, one grabbed the phone, while the second, Emmanuel stabbed the victim on the head* (murder attempt,besides robbing and assault). The third is not mentioned in the script.

During judgement, Godfrey Emmanuel the stabber gets 12 years, while the one Tope with sob story that grabbed and ran with phone got DEATH SENTENCE shocked shocked shocked,


Appeal! Appeal!! Appeal!!!


High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has sentenced a 23 years old Tope Abiodun, to death by hanging for stealing an android LG phone valued at N87, 000.
The court also sentenced a teenager, Godfrey Emmanuel, to 14 years imprisonment for the same offence. Another suspect, Samuel Egbe 24-year-old trader at Wuse Market, Abuja, who was charged with dishonestly receiving the LG phone from the 2nd accused (Tope Abiodun), with knowledge that they were stolen, was, however, lucky, as he was discharged and acquitted by the court.
The court was amazed by the ingenuity deployed by the convicts in carrying out the robbery attack on the owner of the LG phone, Jacob Habila, who they attacked with a knife before disposing him of his handset.
According to the prosecution counsel, Assistant Commissioner of Police Simon Lough, the convicts had, on October 3, 2013, at about 9:21pm, positioned themselves half Unclad, at Impresist junction, Karmo, Abuja, and upon sighting the victim with his LG android phone, approached him to allow them make a distress call to their brother.
They told him they were victims of a robbery attack and would need his assistance to call their brother to bring some clothes for them to put on.
The unsuspecting Habila was touched by their story and in the process of dialling a number that was given to him, the 2nd convict (Godfrey Emmanuel), brought out a knife and stabbed him on the head, while Tope Abiodun escaped with the phone.
With blood dripping from his face, the victim raised the alarm, shouting “thief, thief” which led to the arrest of Emmanuel.

A lesser judgement should apply especially if these convicts are first offenders, and since the victim is alive. Life imprisonment or 30yrs, would have been ok. Death by hanging is extreme in this case.
