What a judgement!!! a country where everything goes freely. Politicians loot public treasury and move freely without probe and even if the authorities wants to probe them, they are rescued by higher authorities...
Recently, a 22 years old Delta State Polytechnic student, Eguono Akpeghughu, was sentenced to death by hanging by a Warri High Court for armed robbery.
The accused was arrested with the help of a passer-by when the victim summoned up courage and grabbed the accused as he made to escape with his loot and raised alarm while his other gang members escaped.
He was found guilty of robbing his victim, George Ogbemudia, of cash and wrist watch worth N1,200, a necklace worth N7,000, Sony Ericsson handset worth N26,000 and N2,000 cash – all about N30,000.
Could stealing N30,000 lead to death sentence compared to what our political office holders steal and transfer into foreign accounts?
Does the student truly deserves to die? Well, this is a country where anything goes. It's left for you to judge.
thunder go fire that useless judge. That's not judgment at all, every crime has equal punishment but this is extreme and I don't think that the constitution has a provision like this. I suggest the family should apeal
ReplyDeleteArmed robbery is punishable by death in Nigeria. Calling armed robbery "stealing" is irresponsible news reporting.
ReplyDeleteOh please shattap! He doesn't deserve to die. Our leaders embezzle a million times more than that.....yet what happens to dem? Nofin. Now a defenseless undergraduate just commited a crime as low as dat just to survive and u sit der and tell me gibberish....please take the case to the Appeal.
