22-Year Old Alonge Ajayi Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Armed Robbery In Ekiti State

An Ado-Ekiti high court has just sentenced one Alonge Ajayi, 22, to death by hanging for armed robbery.

Justice Lekan Ogunmoye held that the prosecution proved its case
beyond reasonable doubts and consequently found Ajayi guilty as charged.
The 22-year-old robbed with guns on October 30, 2017, at Ikere, Ekiti.  

He was arraigned on February 27, 2018, on a count charge of armed
robbery but he pleaded not guilty. According to the Prosecutor, Insp.
Folashade Abe, Ajayi and two others had a gun duel with the police
during which two of the robbers were killed and the convict arrested
alongside his motorcycle.  

Abe said that the gun duel happened some months after the convict and
the others robbed one Henry Afolayan and his family members of phones,
N100,000 and other valuables as they were returning from church service.
Abe said that the armed robbers also came on a motorcycle.

She said that one of the phones was recovered from the convict when
he was arrested, adding that two guns were recovered from him. To prove
its case, the prosecution represented by Mr Kola Kolade, called four
witnesses and tendered exhibits including the two guns, five live
cartridges, phones and one Bajaj motorcycle as well as a statement from
the convict.  

The convict was represented by Kayode Oyeyemi, who did not call any witness for his defence.
