A Man, Jackson Feutubobai, has been sentenced to death by hanging for participating in the killing of 11 police officers.
Th judgment according to Sahara Reporters was carried out by a high court in the Oporoma judicial division in Bayelsa state on Tuesday, March 22, after he was found guilty of killing one Inspector Joseph Ofozini.
Feutubobai was among the killers of eleven policemen who were reportedly killed in the Lobia II community in the Southern Ijaw local government area of the state on April 5, 2013.
The police prosecutor had informed the court of the accused’s five other cases in various courts, including cases involving an alleged kidnapping and sea piracy.
After hearing the application against the suspect, the presiding Justice, M A Ayemieye sentenced Feutubobai to death by hanging, noting that it is mandatory for those accused of murder to be sentenced to death.
Arthur Andrew Seweniowor, the state prosecuting counsel, who addressed journalists after the sentence, said if the accused fails to appeal in three months, the death warrant will be signed by the governor.
Efieseimokumo Bipedei, who represented Feutubobai before the court, had earlier pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, arguing that the accused person is a family man with five children dependent on him, asking the court to reduce the sentence to imprisonment.
*He killed someone brutally...He has five children but yet killed someone else who probably also has kids right? hmmmmmm....

ReplyDeleteWhat abt those police that kills innocent citizens too?
DeleteMy own is that I can't still wrap my head around this death sentence of a thing no matter d gravity of office committed. I don't just like capital punishment no matter d offence. Besides,I feel it's a quick escape. I prefer life imprisonment to it.
DeleteThe fool deserves the punishment.
ReplyDeleteBet why? Good riddance
