TWO MEN WHO ROBBED AT FIYINFOLU AVENUE, OFF ILAWE ROAD, ADO-EKITI SENTENCED TO DEATH TODAY FOR ARMED ROBBERY, MURDER IN EKITI

An Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti on Monday sentenced two men – Michael Adams and Abass Mutiu – to death for armed robbery and murder.

The presiding judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, convicted the duo for committing armed robbery contrary to Section (1) 2 (a) of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provision) Act Cap R11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2014.

He also found them guilty of murder contrary to Section 316 (1) and punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ekiti State, 2015.

According to the prosecution, Adams and Mutiu committed the offences at Fiyinfolu Avenue, off Ilawe Road, Ado-Ekiti when they robbed one Arowosere Kabiru of N12,800 while armed with dangerous weapons like guns and cutlasses.

The convicted persons also murdered one Ojo Adebola during the operation.

A legal officer from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mrs. D. Oyewole, called four witnesses to prove the case while the statement of the accused, Indian hemp, two motorcycles, cutlasses, cartridges and photographs of the deceased were tendered as exhibits.

One of the eyewitnesses, who was among the victims of the attack, identified the accused persons at the identification parade conducted by the state police command.

Justice Daramola in his ruling said: “In this present case, it was ominous and brutal. It was not the machete wound that inflicted Ojo Adebola but pellets from the gunshot.

“I found the defendants guilty of armed robbery and murder as laid on the charge sheet. They will face the supreme punishment for the commission of the offence of armed robbery and murder.

“Therefore, the sentence of the court upon you is that you be hanged by the neck until you be dead. May the Lord have mercy on your soul.
