What about those una Governors that steal Public Fund...May God have Mercy on you guys Tarrant
Haba na. Politicians that steal more than that are wondering freely.
That judgement is too harsh for the offense committed. The judge does not have any fear of God in him/her. Apprehended Bokoharam/herdsmen are walking freely on d street of Nigeria. What a country!!!!!!
What about people that stolen public found
Hmmmm And Buhari is walking free in the off Abuja
What kind of phone please or is it the phone factory. What madness
So what happens to politicians that has been looting billions? I hate this country!!
Ahhh 😦, it shall not be well with that judge . How cruel can he/ she be ? When sentencing politlcians 6 yeah for stealing billion. The judiacial sysytem is a also a big mess to Nigeria development

when ALL YOU media houses are done setting fire to the country with useless headlines, we shall see where and how you make your money. He was sentenced to death for ARMED ROBBERY {not stealing of phones} which is PUNISHABLE BY DEATH and you know that.
Nigeria is not for everybody
Poor people kill a fellow poor man for stealing a phone and celebrate the Rich from stealing billions 🤣. I blame those who choose to steal sha, if you want to steal, please steal some bigger, even the owner will not allow the the poor and hungry masses kill you.
Builshit
25.7bn fraud.just 6yrs ,bcs he stole with pen not arms.our judiciary 😱
Crime surge. Punitive measures needed to curb armed crime rates. With the death Sentence, will the Wannabes, take note....✍🏾 Stay off the hangman's chamber.
But you the same court jailed a banker who stole billions to only six years in ail. This country is really a disgrace
What a country, full of evil people. The evil politicians in the Zoo Nigeria are stilling in million dollars, non have been sentenced to death
Is like d judge study zoology in sch
Did he commit murder during the robbery? This judge is drunk.
Please do not be unfortunate with your reporting, stealing and armed robbery are different things. Even those commenting, honestly have reading problems.
Meanwhile the governor of that state had stolen all the state treasury and he is as freee as a dove 🕊 what an irony
Ordinary phone? Who does that shit ,the court most be mad
The one that stole N22billion went free. Barbaric justice delivery.
Shame on you judge… kind of judge they have in Nigeria 🇳🇬, incompetence from A - Z
Court sentences 22 year old armed robber to death for robbing mobile phones, Lexus E5 350, recharge cards, Bajaj motorcycle, wristwatches, ZDX Acura, and N205,500 cash with locally made pistols and black mask. Justice.
Very lawless country. Politicians are there stolen billions of our fortunes non of them were given death sentence😡😡😡😡
Useless government with weak court
🙄🙄
No justice for poor man o..
How many Fulani killer herdsmen have you sentenced to death? I'm not subscribing to any form of theft but look at it critically is the crime enormous enough to warrant such sentence? Or you the judge just want to use the occasion to sacrifice someone's life to d demon in ur cult?
Did that judge go to school?
Death Sentence for Stealing China phone
How many Nigerian politicians they sentenced to death by firing squad for stealing billions of Naira, may the judge of that sentence never know peace in Jesus mighty name and the power of our ancestors Amen
Whereas you fail to convict useless politicians stealing our common wealth.
And ganduje is still out there governor of Kano
May it never be well with the judge. What of the leaders that steal billions.
Jeeeees !!! For real ? What type of court is this ?
Sentence to death for stealing IPhone and another man stole 25.6 billion but only sentence to six years in prison, in Nigeria,crime pays, just steal big... And a quick reminder, Nah Ogun go kill all those corrupt politicians 👌
That same jugde should also be sentence for passing inhuman jugdement
Really? And politicians and judges are still alive.
that must be a fulani judge against the opposite
You knew quite well that Nigerian law sentencing differs when appraising robbing while armed and not armed but because you just want to post anything against the government without being objective in your report. Address the issue from the foundation. SMH for you guys.
While the real criminals are in the offices stealing with pen. Issorite
Death sentence?
He probably 4got his Ak at home... That's the only language baba govt understands
Madness, on what grounds?
🤔🤔which kain useless sentence be dat
Whaaat?
This country is a joke. The court is corrupt. They never sentence any wicked politician to death oo
Why can't this same law be applied to our able politians looting the economy?
Another young man down because of bad everything.Sharenigerianow
Not possible in Nigeria please. The offense of stealing phone alone cannot attract death sentence. There must be more
kayodeteslim
You're headline is misleading. The judgement was majorly on the 22yr old being in possession of firearm/robbery, why paint the judiciary in a bad light when u have always presented to fight against those (bandits and terrorists) using same firearms to oppress Nigerians.
They’ll judge this matter sharp sharp.
Are dis people mad
So stealing is a death penalty but killing is a free game 🧐☹️🤔🤔
Meanwhile we have people in this country who have stolen billions and they were not sentenced to death and they don't deserve to live.
Impossible!
Even person were slap France Presido na 4months them give am.... Na wa oh!!!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Which stupid judge did that?
Interesting laws in Nigeria. Hungry man steals phones and gets a death sentence. A rich politician steals billions and goes to congress. Is this law? AN UNJUST LAW IS NO LAW AT ALL.
Good sentencing nice one
Robbery or armed robbery?
To death, why ? A highly placed person has bought the life of this young man. I'm not a lawyer but I think there's nowhere in our criminal laws where stealing of phones is punishable by death. People should voice out for this boy please.
Whereas a bank executive who stole millions of American dollar will spend just six years in prison. Where is justice, where is equity?
WTF😦😦😦, this is rubbish
Misleading headline, stealing is not the same thing as armed robbery, stealing doesn't carry a death sentence but armed robbery do. Once there is arms involved, the offence changes.
Can they do that to every politicians looting money
Hehehe, wonders never end
For stealing phone😢🤔 Repented bandits nko🤷💔
Haaa. Phone
How many times have they sentence those stealing our money....just phone That chife judge must be crazy in his life Chive judge must sentence too death because of wrong judge....zoooooooo shame on you

Court has power on ordinary man in Nigeria, but don't have such power on politicians.. There is God!!
Why is ekiti killing people for petty thieving. This is the 3rd time i am seeing such headline in 5 years.
As usual, people won't bother to open the link and read the entire news. 🤦🏾
