An Ado-Ekiti High Court on Monday sentenced A 55-year-old man,
Jimoh Ayeni, and his son, Haruna, to death by hanging for murder of a farmer.
The Judge, Justice Mosun Bodunde, found
the man and his son guilty of murder of Chief Clement Ayeni while he was
working in his farm.
Bodunde said that the prosecution proved
beyond reasonable doubts that the duo committed the murder on June 27, 2012.
“The sentence of the court upon you is
that you be hanged by the neck until you will be dead.
“May the Lord have mercy on your
souls,’’ the judge held.
The Ekiti State Counsel, Mr Familoni
Adeniyi, had submitted that the convicts murdered the deceased at Ose Egbeda
Camp in Emure-Ekiti in Ekiti East Local Government Area.
He noted that the offence contravened
Section 316 of the Criminal Code Cap C 16, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.
