Rivers kidnapper bags death sentence for murder

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has convicted and sentenced a man to death by hanging for killing four persons and using their intestines to prepare a peppered soup meal in Okwalie community, Khana Local Government Area of the State.

He said the attitude of the convict throughout his trial proved that he was a hardened criminal, cultist and terror who if possible, was supposed to be hanged four times and die four times.Speaking to newsmen outside the courtroom, the state prosecution counsel, Chidi Ekeh, expressed happiness with the judgment.

Ekeh stated, “As a human being, I do not take delight in the fact that he is going to die. But I feel happy that the law and the state did not fail society. “That Ogoni community will know peace that they will never see him again. So to me, it was a hard-nosed judgment. The judge has demonstrated once again that he is worth his salt.”All rights reserved.
