Court sentences man to death by hanging for robbing 3 people of N14,570

A man identified as David Olugboyega, convicted for stealing N14, 570 from three people on March 20, 2003 at Araromi Street, Ikere-Ekiti, was sentenced to death by hanging by an Ado Ekiti High court today December 3rd.


The presiding judge, Justice John Adeyeye while delivering judgement said "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.

According to a report by Tribune Newspapers , the prosecutor, Alaba Adeyemi, told the court that the convict armed with weapons including gun and cutlass, robbed three people, specifically robbed Kola Owolabi of N8,000, Beatrice Olawumi, N5,000 and Idowu Abiodun, N1,570. Seven witnesses where provided to prove the case.

    reach of the primary train terminal at Stanwood, with direct trains
    to Vancouver.
