Man, 22, to die by hanging over murder

An Abeokuta High Court on Wednesday sentenced 22-year-old Jamiu Malomo to death by hanging for stabbing a sex worker to death.

Malomo, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, was convicted on a one-count charge of murder.

Delivering his judgment, Justice O. Ogunfowora held that the prosecutor proved his case beyond reasonable doubt that Malomo was guilty of the offence as charged.

The judge held that the evidence presented by the prosecutor was not controverted, hence, the conviction and sentencing to death of Malomo by hanging.

“You are hereby guilty of killing Asisat Akande as preferred against you.

”You will be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on you,” he said.

During the trial, the state prosecuting counsel, Mr A. M. Adebayo, Deputy Director, Public Prosecution, said the convict committed the offence on July 18, 2021, at about 9:30pm at Ori-Apata area community, Oke-Aregba, Abeokuta.

Adebayo said the offence contravened Section 316 and is punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun 2006, which stipulates the death sentence for an offender. (NAN)
