Two persons identified as Tobechukwu Aguonu and Uche Igwe have been sentenced to death by an Olokuta High Court in Akure, Onod State for armed robbery.

The convicts were dragged before the court after being arrested by men of the state police command for being involved in armed robbery in November 2016.

They reportedly robbed one Augustine Okolie of his vehicle, money and other valuables at Olu Foam area of Akure at gunpoint.

They were arraigned on two counts of conspiracy and armed robbery to which they pleaded not guilty.

During the trial, Okolie’s family testified against the duo, explaining how they attacked and robbed them of the valuables. The police witnesses invited to testify in the case also claimed to have retrieved two expended cartridges used by the robbers.

Following the testimonies of the witnesses, the trial judge, Justice Yemi Fasanmi, held that there was indeed an armed robbery attack on the couple, saying the defendants used firearms to terrorize their victims.

The judge also held that “the prosecuting counsel had proved that there was an armed robbery case beyond reasonable doubt.”

Fasanmi added that the stolen vehicle recovered from the convicts in Anambra State also served as a proof of their involvement in the crime.

Delivering his judgment, Fasanmi ruled that they were guilty as charged and sentenced them to death by hanging.

  1. Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from
    an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog?

    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any
    ideas or suggestions? Many thanks

  2. Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s

  3. Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you
    knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    Thanks a lot!

  4. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
    crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
