Ex-convicts to die by hanging for robbery in Ogun
On
An Abeokuta High Court, yesterday, sentenced two ex-convicts to death by hanging for conspiracy and armed robbery.
At their trial, Lekan Akinola, 40, and Dare Sowunmi, 27, had pleaded not guilty to the two-count charge of conspiracy and armed robbery levelled against them.
However, delivering her judgment, Justice Ayokunle Rotimi-Balogun, said the court was convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the ex-convicts were guilty as charged.
Rotimi-Balogun held that all evidence presented by the prosecution was admissible and the punishment for the offence of armed robbery was death.
She, consequently, convicted the two men of the offences and sentenced them to death by hanging.
