A Lagos High Court on Wednesday sentenced an armed robber to death by hanging, for stealing N9,000.
The convict, Onyekachi Abazu, was accused of robbing one Obioma Obiekwe of her N9,000 and a BMW car with number CM659JJJ, at gun point.
He committed the offence on June 13, 2007 at Gowon Estate, Ipaja, with other members of his gang, who are currently at large.
Abazu appeared in court before Justice Morenike Obadina and was charged with two-count charge of conspiracy and armed robbery under section 405(A), 402(A) of the criminal code laws of Lagos, 2003.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges, which made the court to go through rigours of trial.
Delivery Judgement on Wednesday, Justice Obadua said the prosecution has proved it's case beyond reasonable doubt.
She found the defendant guilty as charged and thereby sentenced to death by hanging.
