Hotel staff sentenced to d£ath by hanging for k!lling employer and manager in Lagos


An Ikeja High Court has sentenced a 30-year-old hotel worker, Jeffrey Ehizojie, to d£ath by hanging for strangling his employer, Olusola Olusoga and the hotel manager, Tunji Omikunle, to d£ath in Lagos. 


Delivering judgment on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, Justice Oyindamola Ogala, held that the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubts.


Mrs. Ogala found Ehizojie guilty of beating and strangling the Managing Director of Etsahol Hotel and Suites located at Ojodu-Berger, Lagos. 


She said the crux of the case of the prosecution was premised on the confessional statement of the convict as well as circumstantial evidence.


According to her, the court had carefully considered the retracted defence statement, (which was admitted as evidence) which showed where Ehizojie stated that one of the hotel staff, Henry, had informed him that he observed that the owner of the hotel kept much money at home.


Mrs Ogala said: “the defendant, in his confessional statement  said that Olusoga treated her workers badly so they planned to tie her and collect her money.


“Confessional statement is the best evidence to ground conviction and as held in several cases, it can be relied upon solely where voluntary.


"It is curious that the defendant who was privy to the state of affairs in the hotel told  the court that he was shocked when the police informed him of the death of his boss and the manager when he was arrested at Port Harcourt.


“There is no doubt that the defendant was present at the premises of the scene of crime as confirmed by him in his evidence in chief and exhibits before the court,”


The judge held that the court had carefully considered the evidence of the defendant, particularly his account of how he left the hotel premises on Jan. 25, 2019 and his incredible story as to why he did not return to the hotel after the incident nor report at the police station.


She held that the convict had no clear explanation why fled to Port Harcourt the next day until his arrest.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
