An Ekiti State High Court has sentenced two persons to life imprisonment for attempted robbery, conspiracy and willful damage. The convicted men, Mr. Adebayo Rufus, a 25-year-old commercial motorcylist and a native of Otun, in Moba Local Government and Bamidele Rasheed, a 27-year-old beans dealer in Agbowo Area, Ibadan, Oyo State, were found guilty of the offence committed on September 29, 2008 at Otun Ekiti, Ekiti State.
They were charged with attempted robbery, conspiracy and willful damage. The convicts were found guilty of count three and sentenced to six months imprisonment.
While on counts one and two, they were also found guilty of robbing one Mrs. Ajayi Kofoworola of N1, 500 and thereby sentenced to life imprisonment.
Justice J. O Adeyeye, in his judgment, said based on the evidence before the court and the testimony of the witnesses, he found the accused persons guilty and, therefore, sentenced them to life imprisonment.

ReplyDeletewonders shall never end
ReplyDeleteI get pissed up in this country called Nigeria everyday. Steal 1500 n sentenced for life whereas there r those who steal billions meant for d entire citizenry n yet d same law allow them bail with 0.01% of what they steal
ReplyDeleteThis is not a fear justice,because of 1500,while there people still and embezzling our money in federal and state level yet nothing is don about them,governors like ojir uzor Karl,james ibori,ohakim,are there leaving large,mmmmh,God is watchin.....
ReplyDeleteJ.O Adeyeye u are satans junior brother!what were u thinking ? Are u high or something? U should go back and study ur constitution and decision processes well. Pls those involved should proceed to Appeal court for better judgement. #kamzy baby
ReplyDeleteThis story is incomplete. Armed robbery means robbery with arms, did they shoot in the process? Did they kill? Or mere extortion. There is no way this would elicit life sentence. How can 2 grown men rob sum1 of N1,500? Sorry CKN, this story lacks substance
ReplyDeleteIf this judgement is not reviewed, it means Nigeria is dead as a nation kai what?people that ate old men n women called PENSIONEERS' billion of naira are there now already campaigning for 2015 elections unhindered.well God will wipe you wicked people will hurricane very soon I swear.God is still ALIFE
ReplyDeleteI think the judge was high when he made the judgement. This is absolute rubbish!
ReplyDeleteI think that with this judge on seat satan can take his holidays knowing that another him is on duty post!!!!
ReplyDeleteD judge that gave this judgement must be derobed. It is only in our country that we have two laws - soft judgement for d big men billion dollar robbers and hard judgement for poor commoners in d country. Imagine 1500 naira for life imprisonment. Lord save the poor people of this country.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Naija, a court of injustice and no appeal. How I hate ds country
ReplyDeleteThis is absolute injustice in the constitution of nigeria.the offence did not warrant life imprisonment. This hA̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊ to be rewiew!or else.......
ReplyDelete1500 mtn recharge card....:HMMMMM
ReplyDeleteI won't blame the judge,the story might be incomplete.but really,two people sentenced to life imprisonment with 1500 theft case is not funny @ all,more needs to be done to be able to bring justice to whatever crime people commits,haba life sentence for 1500 is too much,not fair.
ReplyDeleteCKN, Don't assume everyone knows who is in the picture. Who (the thief, judge, journalist) and what is the relevance and the need?
ReplyDeleteI blame those thieves, we are in a country were those that stole billioins are set free & those that try 2 steal like 2k are sentence 2 death. Use ur head, don't steal from d poor rather if u want 2 steal u can go & rob d govt or d bank.
