ReplyDeleteIlliteracy is your problem. Robbery na robbery not minding the sum involved.
Deletepls this judgement should be reversed before God's wrath will visit all those that are involve in the ruling of this case. Reason: James Ibori is still alive. Period
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is no excuse.. My people die because of knowledge. So go and rob and kill fellow citizen because Ibori stole money. When the law catches up with you you face the consequences. Olosi!
DeleteI wonder where this country is heading to, so its better to steal billions than just 5k. God is watching sha. I can't be proud to come ffrom this kind of rooten nation. How can we move forward if d judiciary is highly corrupt. Naija jaga jaga. Idris abdulkarim song
ReplyDeletedat gud but 4 ur stubidility wot of ur piple dat stil billions of naira. oga ooooo. dis naija sha
ReplyDeleteThis is armed robbery. The amount stolen is insignificant am sure he would have stolen more if there was more to be stolen. These guys are heartless and can even take another person's life for just 1k. The judgement is a good one. The issue of our corrupt politicians is a different ball game.
ReplyDeleteI think u are one of the politicians that steal millions too.or your family is among them
DeleteShld they be set free cos our stealing politicians have not bn caught? What is bad is bad no matter who does it. Beside, armed robbery is a criminal offence, d amt involved not withstanding. They kill for any amt so they shldn't be spared. This cld help deter others.
ReplyDeletefor God sake.just only 5,520 thousand naira.how many 5,520 can we found from 20billion naira that sanusi scandal against minister of petrollum,they did not send her to death.imagin a common man stealling small change from 20b was sentsnce by useles &incompetente judge.may almighty God save us from all ds mess
ReplyDeleteThis is not for or against the judgement passed on the poor guys but my worry is that why can't capital judgement be passed on the high and mighty that steals billions of dollars to serve as a detterent to others,the reason why our leaders continue to steal is because they can plea bargain and return a very small amount of their loot and go scot free,if death sentence has been passed on one or two of them I'm sure none of them will have the gut to stael again.
ReplyDeletepple shud read btw the lines b4 commenting. The issue here is not just stealing, but a robbery case with gang and weapons. No judge will sentence a person death for stealing
ReplyDeleteAll this fools against the judgement I suppose are all arm robbers,if you had the experience of this robbers you will not question the judgement,becos this arm robbers are heartless set of human being and I think it serve them right,they are worst than Boko haram
ReplyDeleteAs far as it is an armed robbery situation the judgement is ok. What if they killed somebody in the process?
ReplyDeleteThey can't just sentence anyone to death.he has arms .do u know how many pple he has killed
