Osun High Court Sentence 35-year-old Man to Death by Hanging... Find Out His Shocking Offence

A 35-year-old artisan identified as Kayode Idowu, was on Thursday convicted and sentenced to death by hanging for armed robbery and murder by an Osun State High Court sitting in Oshogbo.

According to Punch Metro, the convict and his accomplice, Femi Adebowale, were earlier arraigned by the police before the court on three counts of conspiracy, murder and armed robbery.

Idowu who was found guilty by Justice Kudirat Akano, was said to have broken into the apartments of Rachel Ogbomoniyi and Florence Ajayi at about 1am on August 3, 2009, and found N200 from Aina’s room and with the help of Adebowale later headed to Ajayi’s apartment and eventually killed her.

The Principal State Counsel, Moses Faremi, told the court that the convict and the second accused, who died in the course of trial, forcefully entered the apartments of the victims in the night and they asked for the money, adding that the deceased told them she did not have money, adding that after they left the deceased, she was later found in a pool of blood.

The counsel said the offences were contrary to sections (1) (2) (9)and 319 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 34, Volume 2, Law of Osun State of Nigeria, 2002.

The judge said the prosecuting counsel had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt. “The evidence brought to the court is so strong and credible. The action of the accused was intentional.

“The accused is found guilty of the charges against him. He should be hanged by the neck for conspiracy; hanged by the neck for murder and hanged by the neck for armed robbery,” she said.
