Justice Peter Kekemeke of an FCT High Court yesterday sentenced two dismissed policemen, James Ejeh and Simeon Abraham, to death for armed robbery.
They were arraigned on October 20, 2017 by the FCT Commissioner of Police on two counts of conspiracy and armed robbery.
Delivering judgment, Kekemeke held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubts by calling four witnesses.
He added also held that there was admission of guilt by the convicts and no evidence was stronger than their own admission.
“Left to me, I will say go and sin no more but it is about the law. It is about the law and the society. The law has placed a duty on me to carry this out. Countless citizens of this country cry out under the security agencies especially the police who run their guns bought with the tax payers money against Nigerians extorting them with impunity. Citizens have cried out on this dangerous trend of those people who are supposed to protect them turn against them.
He said that the dismissed policemen were dressed in their uniforms while armed and robbed one Ms Christe Maker.
According to him, Maker and her driver were attacked on the Bill Clinton Way while they were coming back from the airport at about 1a.m on January 17, 2017.
