A farmer at Kwale town, in Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State, Emeka Ogwu, has been sentenced to death by an Effurun High Court for armed robbery.
Speaking in court, one of the prosecution witnesses, Dorothy Asekpokai, a business woman, had told the court that the convict attempted to rob her on June 12, 2007, when she visited her new building site around Osubi.
She also identified the convict as the one who attempted to rob her with a gun but she narrowly escaped after driving away at top speed.
She said that in the process of escaping, she knocked down the convict, after which she raised alarm that eventually led to his arrest.
34-year-old Ogwu was arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, attempt to commit armed robbery and illegal possession of firearms, contrary to Robbery and Firearms (Special Provisions) Act of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
In the court, presided over by Justice Godwin Gbemre’s opinion, prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, and therefore sentenced Ogwu to death.

Na which law school all these naija lawyers when too? He attempts to rob...not that he killed a human being why sentence him to death?
PLEASE YOU DONT HAVE TO BLAME THE LAWYERS; THATS THEIR JOB; YOUR REASONABLE QUESTION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE STUPID JUDGES IN NIGERIA THE KEEP USING THE COMMON PEOPLE AS A SCAPEGOAT;;; EVEN AS I AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT A CRIMINAL SHOULD BE PUNISHED ACCORDINGLY ;; IS DEATH PENALTY THE NORMAL AND APPROPRIATE JUDGEMENT FOR ATTEMPTED ROBBERY?;;;; THAT MEANS ALL OUR LEADERS SHOULD BE DECAPITATED FOR THEIR MASSIVE LOOTING THEREBY KILLING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN NIGERIA THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS;;; THAT MEANS NO LEADER SHOULD BE LEFT STANDING;; SHAME ON ALL JUDGES IN NIGERIA;;
