CrimeJustice Falola Clarifies Death Sentence For Olowookere Segun’s Gang, Rejects Cla by ToniaReed(op):
By Damilola Adeleke

Hon. Justice Falola, the presiding judge in the case of Olowookere Segun and his accomplices, has addressed public outcry over their death sentence, emphasizing that the conviction stemmed from armed robbery, not chicken theft.

The clarification comes amid widespread misinformation and emotional appeals by sympathizers of the convicts.

According to Justice Falola, the gang, led by Olowookere Segun, was responsible for a series of violent home invasions and armed robberies in Okuku, Oyan, and neighboring communities. Their crimes included attacking a poultry farm, where they shot the owner during a daytime raid, causing panic and harm.

“This was not a case of simple theft,” Justice Falola stated. “The convicts were armed with firearms, terrorizing residents and endangering lives. Such acts demand the full weight of the law.”The suspects were apprehended at the scene of one of their robberies, armed with guns and other dangerous weapons. Justice Falola explained that the use of firearms during a crime escalates its severity under Nigerian law, warranting strict penalties, including the death sentence.

The court’s decision followed due legal processes, but the judge acknowledged mitigating factors, such as the ages of the convicts and the possibility of their being first-time offenders. In his ruling, Justice Falola specifically recommended that the Governor consider commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment, a constitutional prerogative beyond the court’s jurisdiction.

Buying and selling are both more about agreement than value. Did the seller agree to give him a Prado Jeep for #700,000? Did he pay the amount in full? Legally, the buyer has not committed any offence hence he shouldn't forfeit the car. Only the seller should be punished.
