 Ekiti Court Sentences Two to Death for Kidnapping, Armed Robbery


An Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti has sentenced two men, Onileowo Rotimi and Adetola Ayodele, both 42, to death by hanging for armed robbery and kidnapping. The duo was also handed life imprisonment for conspiracy.


The court found them guilty of robbing Mrs. Ajibola Oyelola on October 7, 2016, at Abuta, Omuo Ekiti, and kidnapping her the same day. The offences violated sections of the Ekiti State Criminal Code and Kidnapping and Terrorism (Prohibition) Laws.


Testifying, the victim said she was abducted from her home by five armed men, blindfolded, and held captive in the forest for eight days. Her husband eventually paid a ransom of ₦600,000 for her release.


Prosecutor Akinola Abon presented four witnesses and the defendants’ statements. The convicts, who admitted to meeting in prison before committing the crimes, presented no defense.


Justice Bamidele Omotoso ruled that the prosecution had proved its case, sentencing them to life for kidnapping and death by hanging for armed robbery.
