Chidera57:

Listen to VDM u will see the truth there?

VDM nah still clout chaser and he even said the case is complicated.

The story doesn't add up

I will wait for the Lagos State Attorney-General's statement before taking the words of a condemned inmate at face value.

Why should d guy now deny the pple he worked for and the suspect too?

Chidera57:

That's the point. Whoever that advised him to deny them just wanted the guy imprisoned and he achieved his aim.

There’s a reason police will ask you what state you are from and if you were born in Lagos. That’s a determinant if they will go deep into you or withdraw.

In his case, he is not even from Lagos and was never born in Lagos. So they will kill him.

Angel55555:

The penalty for armed robbery is death.

Which section of the constitution is that from?

Chidera57:

That's what he claimed happened .


I believe what truly transpired is that this guy did connive with some people at large to carry out the armed robbery . He acted as both an informant and as an accessory and accomplice to the armed robbery attack on his clients.

The original plan was that it will be staged as if he was innocent by having his accomplices tie him down and later bundle him into the boot of the car and leave the crime scene.

He will then return claiming victim as well but the madam was able to identify one of the thieves being the one that she had earlier warned the security man never to allow into her residence.

They arrested him on the spot and when the police conducted a search they found #100,000 cash on him being his own share from the robbery.

What I believe here is that the security guy refused to give up the real armed robbers or maybe he never knew them well enough or where to locate them.

The security dude then implicated other innocent people as those who came to rob. It's important he distances himself from having any relationship with the armed robbers so I am sure he implicated innocent people .

If you think this is far fetched , I know of a guy who repairs and sells phones who was implicated by an arrested armed robber as being the person the armed robber bought the stolen phone he was tracked with. This was the armed robber's only way of distancing himself from the armed robbery that saw to the phone being stolen.it took the combined efforts of friends, relatives and church to get the police to investigate the case further and when it was discovered that the phone guy wasn't in town at the time of the armed robbery incidence , that's when the police dropped all charges. Police also investigated the armed robber well and found out he had been involved in several other armed robbery operations.

So what I am saying in effect is that this security guy could not or would not provide the names and location of his accomplices .

The car that was tracked and recovered most likely had changed hands and was tracked to someone who bought the car from the armed robbers.

patrickcollins:
If he was part of the gang he wouldn't have gone back unless say he no Sabi work

Wrong.

Why did he not do his job from the moment those dudes walked into the compound ?

The weapons they used in the robbery were all gotten from his security house which were cutlasses and a baton.

So not only did he give them free access to the compound by allowing them in but he also furnished them with the weapons they used in carrying out the robbery.

They then acted Nollywood fake action movie and had him put in the boot of the stolen car and drove off.

Out of everyone in that compound the least valuable person any armed robbery gang will pick out to kidnap with them will be the security guard.

The madam of the house also identified one of the armed robbers as a friend to the security guy whom she had warned in the past not to be allowed in her property anymore.

The security dude then returns back (because he is foolish) thinking the victims were not already privy to the entire Nollywood fake action movie that just played out.

The madam raised the alarm and a crowd of sympathisers gathered and when they searched his person they found #100,000 cash on him.

He now claims that the armed robbers gave him the money thereby proving that he knew them.

Every other thing nah after thought.

I am very sure the guys who were in court were not the real armed robbers but the guys who bought the stolen vehicle or who the car ed through them after the robbery.

The relations of those discharged probably approached the madam to beg on their behalf. The madam saw reason to assist those guys because she could not identify them as being part of the main armed robbery gang.

This is why the lawyer to the madam approached him to say in court that he does not know the other guys.

It's in the very interest of this security guy to identify any one but his original gang as the armed robbers since that will make him appear as a victim of the robbery.

If those guys were the real robbers , they too would have snitched on him and told the court how he also participated as an accessory and accomplice to the crime.

This is what I think played out.

abatically:


According to vdm, who visited him in prison, the case is more complex. Vdm said he told him after they caught the robbers, the prosecuting lawyer came to meet him in prison and told him they only way they could help him was if he denied ever knowing the robbers in front of the judge which he agreed to do. So when they got to court they asked him 'do you know these guys' and he said he didn't know them. That's allegedly by the way. If this is true then he has really implicated himself. But death sentence? That is harsh since there was no report of anyone dying from the robbery.

I thought states appoint state defense lawyers on behalf of people who have no legal counsel? This case is one kain

psychologist:

I first saw this news on vdm page, they said the court gave him a government lawyer, I think they are lawyer for those that can't afford one.

Whatever the case maybe, why sentence someone to death for a crime where no life was lost and all the stolen items recovered?

If the court gave him a lawyer, then why will he agree to the prosecutor's request to deny knowing the robbers? It's either his lawyer is totally useless or there is more to the case than meets the eyes

AntiZikist:


And you believe the condemned inmate statement ?

This is what the police refer to as "after thought".

I believe there's more to this story and I am not buying this guy's at all.

FYI, such a case will not be prosecuted in court by the Police. Instead it will be prosecuted by the Lagos State ministry of justice through the DPP office. The DPP won't arraign someone for such serious offense without conclusive proof and evidence that they will get a conviction. That's why after the first court arraignment before a magistrate court by the investigative police office, the case file is sent to the DPP for advice and prosecution. Most times the DPP will review the first police investigative report and review the initial charges when they see that there is no case before filing fresh charges before a competent court.

How come this guy's case still went to trial and he even claims he had no legal representation.

I smell bullshit.

The guy is simply looking for public sympathy and a retrial.

This is another more serious mmseonoma case in the making.

You made the following points which may have some truths regarding this matter:
1. The guy may not be telling the world the truth
2. He may be doing all.these to whip up public sympathy
3. There may be more to this story.


But again, your assertion that it is not possible for him not to have a legal representation may not be true. In Nigeria, that is possible.

RedScorpion:
Sentenced to death for what exactly ?

He kill somebody ?

If this guy dies unjustly, then his employer, prosecutors and the judge will forever experience untimely death in their household.

It is called Armed Robbery. The last time I checked. It s Death penalty...... But they might reduce it to life imprisonment.


The case seems complicated.....as a matter of fact, I don't believe his story ........I need to find out more .

Secondly, there are always government lawyers available to represent those that can't afford a lawyer.

edicied:
He didn't hold weapon 🤷

Were you there ?

onuman:

But when did armed robbery start to attract capital punishment in Nigeria?

Long time .

greggng:
The last time I checked armed robbery incident test didn't claim the life of anyone shouldn't deserve death sentence . May be lawyers in the house should advice us better. If he js truly guilty he wont go back to the work place ...We are living in a country where there is miscarriage of justice ..He might even go to jail for being igbo

Must you attach tribal bullshits to everything?

You need an IQ test ASAP

JASONjnr:
The fact that he went back to explain to the employer could interpret two things.....

1. His conscience couldn't let him deal with his masters or it wasn't part of what they planned initially.

2. His innocent and has a good heart.

But I believe he must have known his friend and what he does... Probably he was a criminal back home and relocated to Lagos.

Ur conclusion is absolutely wrong

Ebubu9:
We're handling his case and I've reached out to Ebonyi Commissioner for Justice Dr. Ben Uruchi Odoh in Ochudo City.

We're assembling a team of expat lawyers and reaching out to Lagos state Government for State pardon.

Good one, Ebus.
Now I truly believe you're fellow Igbo.
Thought you were an Igbo imposter, imagonu , onye ofe mmanu posing as an Igbo guy, hence I kept 'hitting' you.

Good job there.
He'll be pardoned, I believe.
That crime, even if he committed it,didn't deserve a death penalty.
Some judges shaaa

Ebubu9:

I'm not from Anambra state, so I'm not a tribalistic idiot.

Wetin nah

Let love reign

Ebubu9:


You should know as a government agent, I have received expats who are foreign professionals who worked in the airport, and as such my keyboard will occasionally use it and I send anyway as I have a lot of tasks to do. This is not a literary work.

Better response than the former

DaGC:
What's with the part about catching the other robbers and later getting them discharged?🤔
Is the Judge plus NPF mad? 🤬

Nnaa ehhhhh, mad people everywhere

The rich politicians looting our national treasury have not been sentenced to death but a poor Nigerian is, over small thievery.
Indeed, the law is against the poor in this nation.

Ebubu9:

I'm not from Anambra state, so I'm not a tribalistic idiot.

You should stop this your senseless war with Anambra people. Stop being stupid.

If you have any personal beef with them, shove it upon your ass and stop denting the image of other Ebonyians with your stupidity.

Caseless:
The case should be revisited. Miscarriage of justice is the highest injustice anywhere in the world.

As for those who would call Nigeria for something like this, it happens even in America,too.

Most Nigerians don reset their brain say bad things only happens in Nigeria , i dey always laugh them. See the black life matter thing , we don forget sharply

ruggedtimi:
Lets say he is guilty....Is sentencing the guy to death the right judgement?? Did anyone die during the operation.

Exactly the first question I asked myself.... When did we start issuing death penalty for a robbery case that didn't lead to any death in Nigeria?

Perhaps, he left out that part of the story.

onatisi:

You will understand this case better if you watch verydarkman version about this issue.
This man was tricked into itting to the crime , and that was why the real robbers were released. When they got to court ,instead of this man pointing out the robbers and identifying then as the real robbers , he rather told the court that he has never seen them before .

This is where he made a great mistake

Ebubu:
Why are Anambra people always into drug and ritualism ?

Kid, free yourself from ogwu ego and get rich quick syndrome through dubious means

Kwusinu ifea unu Na ako ebea,E no make sense at all bikonu

Angel55555:

Oga where is that law located in the constitution

The thing just tire me

You don start with this American nigger victimhood crap.

Nonsense.
If he iaa sa guilty as charged with concrete evidences placed at court, it is unsafe to release him to the public just because you’re from the same place

Phyde:

Then most of our politicians supposed to have died by hanging.

They are not armed when they want to steal, that's the difference. There's also a big difference between robbery and armed robbery.

Traevis:

Oga where is that law located in the constitution

It's not there.
