NYSC Member To Die By Hanging For Robbery

                                     

A member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who served at the Comprehensive Secondary School, Ukpom in Ikono LGA, Akwa Ibom State have been sentenced to death by the supreme court. The Corper by the name, Udeh Kingsely Emeka, was earlier in 2011 sentenced to death by the court of appeal for an armed robbery crime he committed in 2004. 

He took his case to the supreme court which upheld the judgement of the appeal court and said the accused will die by hanging. The judgement was delivered by the supreme court of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday 6th June, 2014 before their lordships, Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen JSC, JOHN AFOLABI FABIYI JSC, SULElMAN GALADIMA JSC, BODE RHODES-VIVOUR JSC, JOHN INYANG OKORO.

The NYSC member was said to have robbed a man with three other accomplices of his car and money in Akwa Ibom.

This really heartbreaking, just hope our so-called politicians  will get similar treatment when found guilty of similar offense.
