Man To Die By Hanging Over N14,570 Robbery by DONSMITH123(m): 6:36am On Dec 04, 2015
An Ado-Ekiti High Court, yesterday, sentenced one David Olugboyega to death by hanging for armed robbery involving N14,570.
Justice John Adeyeye passed the judgment following the confessional statement of the convict and the conclusion of trial by the prosecution.

“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.

During trial, the prosecutor, Mr Alaba Adeyemi, told the court that the convict committed the offence on March 20, 2003 at Araromi Street, Ikere -Ekiti.

He said the convict, armed with dangerous weapons including gun and cutlass, robbed three people of N14,570.

Specifically, Adeyemi said the convict robbed Kola Owolabi of N8,000; Beatrice Olawumi, N5,000 and Idowu Abiodun, N1,570.

The prosecution called seven witnesses to prove the case.

The convict, who made confessional statement at the police station, opted to defend himself without a lawyer.

He pleaded guilty to the charge and also confessed to have been involved in series of robberies. The convict confessed to have joined a gang when he was in a prison.

Hope Saraki and Dansaki can get this kin judgment to teach others lesson. If a citizen can get death penalty for robbery less than 15k. Whats stopping the top politician from facing the firing squad. Most especially Dansuki. The souls of those who die from boko haram menace will not let you and everyone who took part in the arms deal scam know peace. DAMBOROBA SEIGE .

my guy this is another injustice in Nigerian judiciary system. I don't understand this country called Nigeria and that might be the reason why some ethinc group wants to pull out from it. How on earth will a right thinking judge sentence a thief that stole that amount of money to death by hanging and sentence another person that stole 2.2 billion niara 74 days in prison with an option of paying 3 million naira fine.
A shameless country.

Too bad how most of us argue and comment with ignorance here. Justice is not doing what is moral, it is doing what is right in the face of the law (what is legally right).


Whether politicians steal billions or not and this man just stole peanuts yet the latter is given a more severe punishment while the former goes untouched. Well, Dont blame the system, Blame the law.

Justice is not always doing what us morally right. It is doing what us legally right.

Get your minds right

You people are only worried about the little amount of money he stole forgetting that Armed Robbery attracts Capital Punishment under the Robbery and Fire Arms Law of the Federation, 2004.








He was armed, probably with a gun or any other deadly weapon therefore must be executed unless he's granted amnesty.

My guy One law for common man another law for the big thiefs, the penalty is too harsh on this poor guy . Atleast,life in prison would have been more preferable. Hanging a man for N14,570 and Dasuki, Dieziani and others are still running free.

Morally speaking you are correct. But this is the law and this is justice. It is not always right but it is legal... Until proven guilty, the aforementioned names remains free men...

Too bad... The law is an ass
