Hmn am not happy with that kind of judgment.

Caseless:

You are the one with zero ability of reading, the 14 years old "Godfrey" stabbed the man, while 23years Abiodun whisk away with the phone.

Now if you were to be the judge who will you punish more among the two thieves?

StarPlayer:
Could you stop sounding dumb already? you should know too well that crime is not enough to get capital punishment. Attempted murder isnt murder

This is crazy and insane. Just stealing a phone? What about the politicians and military men who stole billions and trillions of N/$/£ from Nigeria. They are still walking free and being celebrated. This judge must be high on something, maybe Oshogbo weed.

A 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 naked, 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.
The matter was swiftly reported at the police and Abiodun was arrested a few days later.

The convicts were slammed with a three-count charge by the Commissioner of Police, for armed robbery, contrary to section 6(b) of the Robbery and Firearms Special Provisions Act, Cap R11 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

The convicts were represented by Nnamdi Nwiwu, who made frantic but failed legal efforts to get them off the hook.
The lawyer, however, succeeded in saving the teenage robber (Godfrey Emmanuel) from the hangman’s noose by pleading with the court, after he was found guilty of the offences, to consider the provisions of the Child Rights Act, particularly section 221 and section 405 of the Administrative of Criminal Justice Act and reduce his sentence to 14 years.

After evaluating the submissions of counsel, including exhibits and documentary evidence before her, Justice Chizoba Orji found the 1st and 2nd accused persons guilty as charged.

She held that from the totality of evidence before her, the prosecution had successfully established the case of armed robbery

I kept reading to know if the accused had committed a more heinous crime prior to the last, but NO! He didn't! But was sentenced to death! For real!!! In a Common law practising country I feel like fainting! Can a lawyer pls save me by giving more clarification on why that Ogogoro drinking judge should give such a verdict?

konfused:



Biko I pray, tell me where the article said it was an Igbo boy.

Are you minding the he-goat and other goats like him who liked his useless and idiotic comment. The goat's comment would have made sense had he not masturbated with the name of the tribe he loves to hate.

He should appeal the judgment ASAP and claim it was a gift, since $9.8m was claimed to be gifts given.

Hmmm.... that should send a message to those making other ingenious plans to rob and seriously injure/kill innocent people.

Would have said that the judgement was harsh, but attempted murder can't be easily overlooked, what if the victim was stabbed in a very bad place. Well have said my own bit old shun crime .

Caseless:
I don't kill. The punishment is harsh , but I can't seem to understand why all these phone thieves prefer to stab their victims even when they've taken the phone without resistance.

You don't kill but many known men have killed countless and still walking free.

Hard labour he should be set in...
The US will send such dude to corrections.

Poverty and wicked mind. Any way, temper justice with mercy.

You see our Judges?
Some of them are just MAD.

Granted, it is a violent robbery but DEATH SENTENCE, for robbing a Phone?

Meanwhile, this same Judge would do "plea bargain" for someone who stole $5 Billion.

Different rules for the poor, different rule for the rich.
No ownder nobody wants to steal small amount now and violence is on the increase.

NJC should do something about these errant Judges on its bench, abeg

ZombieTERROR:
Well
