A High Court in Ekiti on Thursday sentenced to death by hanging Stephen Ominiyi, a contender for a traditional stool in Ekiti, for murder.
The judge, Kayode Ogundana, said the prosecuting counsels, led by Adegboyega Morakinyo, had proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr Omoniyi murdered the late monarch. “I am also of that opinion that the prosecuting counsels had discharged their duties zealously by proving beyond reasonable doubt all the charges against the accused.The judge also dispelled the notion that the convict was insane.The incident resulted in massive protests by residents and admirers of the monarch.
And no sitting governor in Ekiti would sign his death by hanging sentence. Rubbish law. Why do we need to wait till asitting governor sign before execution of convicted criminals.
