A Lagos State High Court sitting in Igbosere, yesterday, sentenced to death by hanging, one Idowu Kalejaiye, for armed robbery.

The court, in its judgment, said that the prosecution had succeeded in proving its case of the offence of armed robbery against the defendant.

The court said: “There is no doubt that the defendant is one of those who robbed the home of PW1 (Morayo Giwa) on February 25, 2008. Although the defendant and his accomplices (two others) escaped, the court will not allow the defendant escape the consequences of his evil deed.

“If indeed the defendant’s accomplices had been killed and after four weeks of the armed robbery, he (defendant) is still alive, it is because the Lord had been merciful to him. But he (defendant) kept going back to PW1 (Morayo Giwa), demanding for money.”
