2 sentenced to death for stealing fowls in Osun state

The Osun High Court in Okuku, has sentenced two men to death for stealing fowls. The convicts, Olowookere Seguana & Morakinyo Sunday were found guilty of breaking into the home of the complainant Balogun Tope and stealing his fowls. The men had been in his house before to steal.

The robbers had also been sighted around the complainant's house with a cutlass and dane gun. They also confessed to earlier robbing one Alhaja Umani Oyewo in her house and stole broilers, eggs and kegs of vegetable oil from the house.

They were charged with conspiracy, robbery and stealing. In the judgement, there were convicted on three counts: death for conspiracy, life sentence for robbery and 3 years' imprisonment for stealing.

This is the height of injustice and discrimination, poor sentenced to death for stealing fowls while rich man gets presidential pardon. This is extreme

Imagine. eye brow raise

No na. Death penalty, isn't that too much? I doubt if the owner of the birds will be happy with the sentence. And yet those who steal the future of others are roaming freely parading themselves as the big boys and girls of the country and receiving all manner of accolade. God help humanity.

The convicts have definitely breached their moral and legal, obligations but the sentence in this instance is disproportionate to the offence committed. Although they were in possession of dangerous weapons and might have robbed houses prior to their conviction, the sentence is no where near representing what justice really means. The death sentence shouldn't be tossed up and about and given to anyone found guilty. There must be some sentencing guidelines regulating how it should be administered. Well, the deed has been done. I rest my case. #aspiringBarrister

i agree..there must be some sort of punishment that must be meted out on them.they should appeal and pray for a lighter sentence cos the judge went by the books.
