For snatching a handset worth N2,500 and stealing the sum of N10,000, a High Court sitting at Akwukwu-Igbo in
Oshimili North local government area of Delta State has sentenced an armed
robbery suspect, Vincent Okwekwu, to death by hanging.
According to the
prosecutors from the State Department of Public Prosecution (DPP), Okwekwu with
two others now at large, armed with cutlass, had broken into the apartments of
one Ofoyeju Peter and Tietie Moses and robbed them of cash amounting to N10,000
and a telephone handset in 2009 at the Umueha Quarters in Ibusa.
In sentencing the convict
to death, the judge averred that the prosecution had proven its case beyond
every reasonable doubt and that the suspect was guilty of conspiracy to commit
armed robbery and deserved to die.
