Two men to die by hanging for armed robbery in Lagos

An Ikeja High Court on Wednesday sentenced two
men — Seun Omoilodan and Gbenga Kayode — to
death by hanging for armed robbery.
Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye handed down the
judgment after finding the duo guilty of conspiracy
and armed robbery.
She said: “The defendants are hereby convicted
and sentenced to death by hanging for armed
robbery.
“On the third count of attempted robbery, the
defendants are sentenced to life imprisonment.”
Earlier, in his allocutus, counsel to Omoilodan and
Kayode, Mr Damola Victor, had appealed to the
court to temper justice with mercy.
“My Lord, kindly temper justice with mercy. The
defendants are first time offenders and have shown
remorse for their crimes.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the
convicts committed the offences on Nov. 2 and 9,
2011 at Ayangburen Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
