I do not understand. Why is it that the serious crimes do not get hefty sentences but the "unserious" crimes are the ones more arrested and harsher sentences. Na wa o

Misleading Topic..

However, if the death sentence was given based on considerations of his previous crimes, then this verdict is wrong.
Re: Phone Thief Must Die By Hanging - Supreme Court by Nten: 3:56pm On May 23, 2013
D issue is this man has been terrorizing innocent residents as an armrobber, he was caught, charged, sentence to death, pleaded nt guilty, appealed his case, was discharged & acquitted. The scoundrel went back to his duty as an armrobber this time armed with a cudgel inflicted injuries on d poor woman head in other to dispossess d her phone. Nw there is enough evidence to nail him: phone, cudgel, gunshot wound, victim, witness et cetera. Any rougue armed is intending to kill. So not just phone theft that is leading him to such sentence
Re: Phone Thief Must Die By Hanging - Supreme Court by Nobody: 4:03pm On May 23, 2013
Nigeria__ has one of the worst justice systems. Phone thieves are sentenced to death by hanging then cabals,militants,terrorists,embezzlers are pardoned, given amensty and national honours. *spits*

Nigerian Police respond to distress call, are you for real?

Sometimes,forgiveness and giving yet another chance to someone who has erred can really turn his/her ways of life around!Stealing is a bad thing and its also a habit.Just that some persons do not learn or wish to outlive it.We all stole Smtn at some points in our life,esp as kids and teens.Stop the jungle justice on minor crimes.

Obasanjo steals N20 Trillion he is worshipped.

Babangida steals N3 Trillion and he his celebrated.

A man steals mobile handset and he must hang.

What a country of idiots we are.
Re: Phone Thief Must Die By Hanging - Supreme Court by rman: 4:35pm On May 23, 2013
ireke: The title is grossly misleading - the stolen phone case was just used in court to support the fact that he is a dangerous and unrepentant criminal.
-
Summary:
The guy was sentenced to death by hanging for ARMED ROBBERY.
He appealed the judgement and managed to get the sentence lifted at the Court of Appeal and he was also released.
Shortly after his release, he attacked this woman and stole the handset in question. He was caught.
This action prompted a challenge of appeal Court's decision at the Supreme court.
Supreme court upheld the initial judgement of the lower court for him to die by hanging for ARMED ROBBERY.

I guess his armed robbery record tarnished it all..

I don't value death penalty cos it doesn't give the person chance to experience the kind of suffering he suffers his prey!! Mayb a life sentence with hard labour in our beautiful and well equiped prison will teach him a lesson...he should try stealing from his fellow inmates

Those ones are above the law that is why they are mostly not even charged to court at all. But some people believe that if Buhari was given the chance the situation would change for the better.

those 1s are thiefs, this man is an armedrobber. He is armed with a weapon that can take your life. So even if its a pencil he intends stealing and he is armed, he would be sentenced as an armedrobber. Kobakaba Gen?

hoochay: WHAT OF THOSE WHEN THEY STEAL MONEY?HW WILL THEY NOW DIE
He was involved in ARMED robbery. The constitution is very particular about thieves who do dia business thru d barrel of a gun, or with any life threatening weapon.
The problem lies with ur nigerian law.
Armed robbery >>> financial crime

Oh bros, sorry o. Who be d "we" for the matter?
all dis people stole money quite alright, but not buy aiming a deadly weapon @ anybody.
If the accused had been given this sentence because he J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ bullied folks off their properties without a weapon, then I for shout.
But he is an unrepentant criminal that is not afraid of taking another man's life, and God forbid, d next person he might encounter on the streets could even be you or any of ur loved ones.

By That time, I believe d difference btw dis guy and obj and babangida et al. Would be very clear to you.

He was "forgiven" by d court of appeal, only for him 2 go and rob again, almost killing a lady in the process.
Re: Phone Thief Must Die By Hanging - Supreme Court by osasdiddy: 8:48am On May 24, 2013
His past criminal records warranted judgement passed on him which I believe is to serve as a deterrent to petty thieves who always go back to crime after being pardon initially. Come on guys, if handset is his problem, there are so many affordable ones of N3000 or he could do a maniac job to earn. Living...in a nutshell, stealing is in his character

YOU are the idiot. The man stole using dangerous weapons, ergo he's an armed robber. The punishment for armed robbery in Nigeria is DEATH. This is following the letter of the law 100%

The only question now is which teaching Hospital will get his corpse when he is dead. LUTH or UBTH?

Zero tolerance for Armed robbers! If you like, cling to this 'Obasanjo stole 10 trillion' rubbish...go and steal with a weapon and see if you will not also get the hangman's noose.
Re: Phone Thief Must Die By Hanging - Supreme Court by josite: 8:14am On May 25, 2013
armed robbery, even robbery with a pocket knife in Nigeria carries a death penalty. If you must rob ,u better not be armed if u don't want to die if caught.
