This is actually not one of the home video synopsis but true story of a young man who is being sentenced to death by hanging. Obviously, the presiding judge is not abreast of the goings in the country to have passed such a judgement over a mere N1,705. Starting from the top, former gov. Of Bayelsa, Alamiseigha onced accused of stealing state noney running into several millions of dollars, he dudnt spend more than a week in prison. Also was a case or Gbenga Daniel, Dimeji Bankole etc who have stolen public money massively, they are walking as free men. A Jos High Court on Thursday, 21 June 2012, sentenced Obinah John, 26-year-old man to death by hanging for stealing the sum of One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Five Naira ( N1,705) cash from one Dorothy Olaniyi. We gathered that Obinah, now on death row, was also accused of stealing two rolls of peak milk sachets, valued at N400 from the same Dorothy. The prosecution counsel, Mr G.D. Fiwonyon, who is the deputy director, Public Prosecution in Plateau State had told the court that Obinah, in company with an accomplice identified as John, now at large, robbed the Dorothy on November 18, 2005 in her shop at Gada Biu, Jos, at gunpoint. The Public Prosecutor told the judge point-blank that since Obinah used a gun to rob Olaniyi, he had committed a criminal offence punishable with death by hanging. www.nigeriafilms.com gathered that Obinah's counsel, Mr. Tobechukwu Kekemeke tried all he could to convince the judge otherwise, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. He was said to have accused the police of “not telling the truth about the gun” said to have been used by Obinah. Mr. Kekemeke pointed out that the police presented three statements, with only the last indicating a confession by the accused that he used a gun against the victim. He further argued that the prosecution had failed to prove to the court that the accused actually used a gun to commit the act. But in a 60-page judgment, Justice Yargata Nimpa said the evidence before her showed that the accused, Obinah, committed the offence and thus sentenced him to death by hanging.

Nigerian | 6/22/2012 1:01:48 AMIs this news true? How could a man be sentenced to death for stealing less NGN1,107 and milk worth NGN400? Is it not obvious that this man did the stealing because he was hungry? Fellow Nigerians, we can't just stand by and watch a man die for stealing paltry sum. Where is oir human nature? This Obinah John must not be executed! Please, it will be gruesome and inhumane on our part if we allow Mr Obinah John to die. Let us take to twitter and socila media to create awareness to save John's life. Reply this thread

Kill him and the blood of that young man'll be upon their heard, a poor hungry man/woman 'll just steal common 1 naira thy'll sentence him/ her to death , see our Politicians stealing our Government money and go free and their fellow thieves'll even go to congratulate them in one of their house in villa, I didn't say that stealing is good but thy shouldn't have sentence the young man for just that amount of money this world is wicked.

Dats exactly what African China said in his song 'when poor man steal maggi, dey will show his face for crime fighters, but when reach man steal moni, dem no go show his face for crime fighters'. D boy may not fight bcos he's got no money or connection, but God is watching u all, though not in support of his actions. Charisma | 6/22/2012 5:34:41 AM |
Nne baby, no one supports his action I personally detest stealing especially under d threat of being shot which obviously he did, but with dis rulin' from a so-calld judge n d prosectn counsel dat fueld dis situatn. Now am compld 2 ask, where is d "KIND" in "MANKIND"? ANNA | 6/22/2012 6:00:27 AM |

FM147 | 6/22/2012 1:45:19 AMWell, stealing is stealing, the only difference here is Mr Obinah John committed theft with the aid of a gun thereby causing and putting the victim in harm's way and causing her physical and emotional distress and the others facrouk, bankole, daniels, etc all stole with pens, hence, d life sentence he got and the others, if justice is well served,they'll probably get a smack on the wrist Reply this thread

Juruchy Canada | 6/22/2012 3:23:49 AMWhenever look at the way our country Nigeria are going it reminds me of the slave trade. I have never seen a wicked government like Nigerian Government neither have i seen cowards like Nigerian Youths. Lawan is walking freely on Nigerian roads and being protected by the Police even all the politicians but here is a man sentence to Death for stealing may be because he was hungry. The Nigerian populace are worst than slaves. Reply this thread
