Hey Shut up there!!!. What makes you think he was the one responsible,without enough evidence. Even in civilized countries they don't kill arm robbers.

he didn't remember to mention GEJ as usual

Is armed robbery now a capital offense in Nigerian?

is benue state operating a diff judicial system?
Why are the armed robbers caught in other states not sentenced to death by hanging?

I won't pity him at all, my younger brother was attacked with my Aunt and her family yesterday night and he attests to the fact that they are young boys who are either undergraduates, heavily armed so what are we saying, he was beaten so much only God saved him

The wages of sin is death. It is a pity that the guy will die this way.
If there is anyone in government or holding political office, stealing our mandate, God will make them face the same capital punishment

What kind of person is the poster? How dare you pity armed robbers for any reason, if they pulled the trigger on you or someone close to you all in the name of money, would you still feel the same pity?

The death sentence should perhaps be reduced to maybe 20 years.
But that guy sef no try o, he was a professional robber in the making.

too bad

Birds ov the same feather.#SMH

A case like this has to be proved beyond any reasonable doubt, it is unfortunate that Nigerian judges many of whom were trained abroad continue to convict defendants on confessional statement made under torture. They are one of the reasons why our police have become very lazy and unprofessional in crime investigation.

Its unfortunate that he was judged to be killed. But let us be frank, have you had any encounter with an armed robber before, where you are not sure if you will live or die. I think armed robbers and kidnappers should be given a very tough sentencing to deter prospective ones. the only sad thing is that this one was a student, nothing else. Going by this report, he was on a rampage (naija police dey lie though)[b][/b]

Nigeria with a stupid judicial system tailored to favour only the rich and influential in the society.i prefer life sentence.

The guy na pro, after stealing a car at gun point he went ahead to rob the
residents of judges's quarters. Abi i no read am well?
moral of the story......never you rob in judges's quarters

Samiceman: 3rd to comment! Chai i don improve

what's d benefit of commenting first if u don't hv anytin to say?do they give money for it? It shows how ur brain works though.some1 is abt to die n ur talking thrash. God help u.

O well... We live we die!


I see so many people with strong reactions to this case. Its interesting to see how we are quick to judge the 'Government' our leaders and everyone else but ourselves. If this young man had come to us for assistance, we wouldnt have helped him.. But he robs to survive or steals to survive and gets sentenced and we are all now overly sensitive to his plight....

Well... here is a chance to maybe save another helpless Nigerian child from growing up and becoming a criminal and a menace or burden to society. Nairaland is organizing its annual Charity flight to Orphanage homes and we need your help..

Chrisx1x: Arm robbery...at gun point..abeg why d judge nor sentence am to firing squard.hanging nor fit am..if arm robber don do u b4,u go knw why i dey bitter against them

I support you billion %, armed robbers deserve no pity, i don't want to be their victims before i will know how heartless they are. Those condemning capital punishment are just wasting their times. When this law was passed under Gen Yakubu Gowon, armed robbers were not as bad/many as they are now. But since the government of IBB introduced the use of armed robbers as personal Thugs and passed them on to the OBJ civilian government who changed their name to PA, Personal Assistants the level of armed Robbery skyrocketed to the mars planet.

During the Buhari/Idiagbon regime, armed robbers were being executed in their respective villages, to deter others, i could remember one that was killed in my neighboring village, my father took all of us his children there, to put fear into our minds. Throughout that period till today that memory is still in my heart. As i saw a healthy man who talked greeted his family members and friends, confessed and warned people to stay off from crimes, being shredded by bullets of the hardened military men.

When we got home that day coupling with the heavy rain that fell that day after the execution, our father called us all and asked us what we learnt and our minds towards what we saw in the day, we all told him that crime/armed robbery/stealing is not good for any one. He thanked us and advised us be poor than being known as rouges, he said that if that executed robber was innocent that our community and his would have overpowered the soldiers and rescued him, but as a guilty man, that everyone was powerless and weak to fight for him.

Being a last born i used to sleep in the bed with my mother, i remembered covering my face throughout the night with my mother's cloths and never opened my eyes till the morning as i was thinking that the dead robber was standing in my front. He was a well known man, but never knew he was an armed robber then.

That time was when moral values was still respected in our societies, but today what do we have shameless and Moralese beasts, who are contended with evil/crimes and oppression we are witnessing in our societies today. That is why a well known armed robber is widely celebrated because he/she is used to rig elections, by carrying ballot boxes, fighting, intimidating, and killing of the opposite political opponents of his/her political god fathers. When he is caught only a phone call from his Oga at the top, he would be released while the police officers that arrested him or her would be in great trouble. Then a hunter would become hunted.

When he comes home to his/her village you will see how gullible people would be celebrating him/her, hailing and prostrating, the village chief will give him/her chieftaincy title. The next time you will see him/her pasting posters round the town as a Politcian, rig the election be the looter people are calling for their heads while condemning the execution of the armed robbers who are under graduates of Looting Science.

If he was caught in the act, proved beyond reasonable doubt, tried and convicted in the crime, let him be publicly executed, and let the armed robbers human right /anti capital punishment campaigners pull down the sky.

Best campaigner is one who campaigns against crime. Let him be executed before he graduates to a Looter/corrupt politician.

Chei....so if he committed multiple murders nko?
This sentence was somewhat harsh o.

thats insane and unreasonable of them! Moreover justice is never served in the court! What about some of those freakin nusance called politician who are most often the cause of the chaos we see and hear here and there! It rilli hurts my heart!

Laws are only meant for the poor in Nigeria.

Pls where is Farouk Lawal, Dimeji Bankole, etc

tommykiwi: When is discrimination going to STOP in Naija?

See them, na them be these, did i hear you say poor boy? why didn't u go and kill the corrupt Local Government Chairman? yes the corrupt LG Chairman deserve to die when you and i decide to take back our rights as citizens of this country, but till then. Let any caught, confirmed, and duly tried and convicted armed robber be publicly executed.

I will advise you to trace the origin of that corrupt LG Chairman you will see that he graduated from his mother's pot of soup, petit stealing, armed robbery to LG Chairman.

Recently we read how armed robbers robbed a young girl r-apped her before killing her, all of us cried and called for the heads of the armed robbers, today an armed robber is convicted and sentenced to death, we are blaming the court and law, by always repeating one comment about corrupt government officials. The level of hypocorism in Nigeria will make this country never to move an inch in terms of development.

When an Igbo man is caught in corruption, my people will say that he is not the first criminal and give instances. When an Hausa man is caught his people will accuse the government in power for witch hunting the Huasas because they are no longer in power, with examples.

When Yoruba man is caught, his people would say because he is from the opposition party, and too educated, they would also give an example.

There is no logical point to justify crime; armed robbers are so heartless to be left off hook no matter how little their crime might look like. Some said that he robbed but didn't kill as if the gun he robbed was with water and not bullet. Forgetting that without gun, armed robbers can never overpower their victims.

Nigerians should shut up and face the truth about things in Nigeria problem. The level of confusion is too much for us honestly.

Keep on pointing fingers, until armed robbers break into your house, point gun at your head and order you to climb on top of your mother, sister, daughter, relative. or your father, brother, son, relative to mount on you, then you will come online and bleat like a Charismas goat.

This is really outrageous! But what do you expect when you attack and rob the judges quarters? The same person that will pass judgement on you. He shot himself in the foot.

Make dem kill d idiot and im brodas in crime like ritualists,rapists,419ners et al.I cant fit shout!

what do you expect when you rob 'judges quarters' of all places thank God they did not even sentence them to death by squashing of the balls.
