An Ado-Ekiti High Court has sentenced four men, Babangida Amodu, 25, Oluwafemi Ibrahim, 20, Ojo Ayodele, 25, and Okunato Dada, 20, convicted of armed robbery and murder, to die by hanging.
The four men, who were arraigned on October 4, 2018, on charges of conspiracy, armed robbery and murder, had pleaded not guilty, and the court ordered their remand.
Delivering judgment, Justice John Adeyeye said, ”It is obvious that the defendants acted in concert as they all agreed to rob Ibrahim Isiaka and Mohammed Sanusi, who died as a result of the injury inflicted on him during the robbery.
“In conclusion, the prosecution has successfully proved the three counts of conspiracy to rob, armed robbery and murder preferred against them and they are each convicted accordingly in respect of each of the offences.
“May the Lord have mercy on your souls,” the Judge pronounced.
