Okeke was convicted by the Lagos High Court on April 13, 2010 for the murder of Ofomatu at her residence in Festac Town, Lagos. He was found guilty, convicted and sentenced to death by the Court.
Okeke was convicted and sentenced to death by the trial court for conspiracy and murder contrary to Sections 324 and 319(1) of the Criminal Code Act Cap 17, Laws of Lagos State, 2003.
Dissatisfied, Okeke appealed his conviction in Lagos and asked that the judgment of the lower court be upturned. But the appeal failed as the appellate court dismissed the application.
Again, Okeke took his case before the Supreme Court in Abuja and asked that the judgments of the lower courts be upturned.
While arguing the case before the Apex court, the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem had urged the court to dismiss the appeal and uphold the judgments of the lower courts.
Kazeem, who was represented by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecution, Mrs. Idowu Alakija and Mr Justin Jacobs had argued that the appeal was devoid of merit, and ought to be dismissed.
In its judgment, the apex court upheld the arguments by the State Government, and held that the appeal of Nonso Okeke lacked merit.
The court, in the lead judgment delivered by Justice Musa Dattijo Muhammed thereafter dismissed the appeal and upheld the decision of the lower courts for him to be sentenced to death.

ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm so sad!!!
ReplyDeleteSince 2004? This is sad, the judicial system should be fast tracked in Nigeria. The family of d deceased would have given up on d case. Good judgement but too late.
ReplyDeleteGood one
ReplyDeleteIt's been long o,d pikin wey den born dat time self don dey get breast
ReplyDeleteYou kill someone and you yourself don't want to be killed, the guy must be stupid or high on something

The end of the long trial and appeal.
ReplyDeleteHe got what he deserves
ReplyDeleteGo meet your creator...
ReplyDeleteWhich creator,he should go and meet with his is godfather in the killing kindom (HELL)
DeleteHow I wish that evil doers would advice themselves that evil is bad by quitting evil deeds, look at how this man has wasted 12 solid years for nothing and is still likely to receive the worst of all Mr Death by fire and by force oh how I wish he'd thought for a little before committing that crime
ReplyDeleteHe deserves to die, that woman was my friends mother. she sent the guy to school and did a lot to help him and he's family but instead of being grateful he took to doing drugs and stealing. He later took armed robbers to the ladies house to rub and while they where there he killed her. Leaving her only child chioma without a mother. I remember how we used to seat up all night with chioma while she screamed through the night in horror. Her cousin that was being trained and helped by her mother, murdered her mother. Thats why i don't blame people who don't help others these days.
ReplyDeleteJustice at last for my poor friend, Chinwe!Governor Ambode kindly sign the death warrant without delay and bring closure to the victim family and friends. As for you Nonso,go to hell and rot for eternity!!
ReplyDeleteU reap wht u sow. Linda observe!
ReplyDeleteLinda why is it that all the criminal offenses that make it to your blog are committed by ibos? Do you not get stories of wrong acts committed by people of other tribes? Are you a sellout who is intentionally trying to disgrace the ibos?

ReplyDeleteFine judgment.jumbo
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer him getting raped everyday of his life in Kirikiri. Death is too quick for a murderer
ReplyDeleteA killer must be Killed nah!
ReplyDeleteMy Igbo folks (the few tribalistic idiots we have on here), notice how no one pointed out that he was Igbo. He's just a killer. So temper you angry rhetoric. We all know you think you're better than all of us. Just understand that ppl that are actually better don't feel the need to bring down others. With luv, happy Sunday :-)
ReplyDeleteHe deserves it.
ReplyDeleteRip in advance
ReplyDeletesince dat time.
ReplyDeleteLive by the sword, die by the sword
ReplyDeleteKarma!!
ReplyDeleteScared of death already?
ReplyDeleteGood for him, he deserves the punishment, others we learn,
