  • Supreme Upholds Kidnapper’s Death Sentence

    Supreme Upholds Kidnapper’s Death Sentence

     

    The Supreme Court on Friday, June 5, upheld the death sentence by hanging for a convicted Delta-based kidnapper, Chelynor Halim. 

    In a unanimous decision, a five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the convict’s appeal as lacking in merit.

    A High Court in Asaba, Delta State, had held in 2017 that the proof of evidence established Halim’s involvement in armed robbery and kidnapping. 

    The trial court heard that the defendant, together with his accomplices, kidnapped one Joan Osemene on February 9, 2014, and took her to an unknown location in Ibusa, Delta State.

    Halim, who allegedly slapped the victim and threatened her with a gun, later covered her nose with a cloth containing a substance that caused her to pass out. 

    At the scene, the gang leader, identified as Edozie Obude, allegedly grabbed the victim by the throat, struck her neck with a metal object, and ordered that she be thoroughly searched.

    The victim, who testified during the trial, told the court that after the search, the gang seized her ATM card and N10,000 in cash that she had on her. Subsequently, the gang used the ATM card to withdraw N55,000 from the victim’s account. According to the victim, her hands and legs were tied and she was taken to another location where the gang abandoned her. She eventually freed herself and escaped, running until she reached a major road.

    There she flagged down a motorcyclist to move farther from the area, but that motorcyclist turned out to be the convict. Upon recognising him as one of her attackers, the victim raised the alarm, prompting nearby bystanders to apprehend the motorcyclist before he could flee. 

    The convict was later handed over to the Department of State Services, after which he led operatives to his gang’s hideout, where a shootout ensued that resulted in the death of their leader, Obude.

  • Execute terrorists, don’t rehabilitate them with taxpayers money — Iroegbu

    Execute terrorists, don’t rehabilitate them with taxpayers money — Iroegbu

    A public affairs analyst and House of Representatives aspirant, Dickson Iroegbu, has asked the Federal Government to execute captured terrorists instead of rehabilitating them with taxpayers money.

    Featuring in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Friday,  Iroegbu lamented that the captured terrorists had killed top ranking military officers and many innocent Nigerians.

    The member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, equally stated that politics took over governance since President Bola Tinubu came into power.

    “Execute these terrorists instead of rehabilitating them with taxpayers money. The military’s morale is also very low. The fact that soldiers are killed by these terrorists and the government’s policy is to rehabilitate these people involved in these heinous crimes with taxpayers money is quite disturbing.

    “A government policy is that you caught these people who are involved in these heinous crimes, and you’re making excuses on their behalf that they were recruited into it without their knowledge?

    “Rehabilitating them and then putting them back into society shows how lenient we are about the issue of insecurity.

    “These are people who have been said to have killed soldiers, not just rank and file, but Generals in the Nigerian Army, and the Commander-in-Chief is not furious enough to execute them,” he stated.
