It was gathered by Hobnob News reports that the Akure High Court in Ondo State has sentenced an Evangelist, Adewale Adelu, and five others to death by hanging over their roles and involvement in armed robberies in the state.
They were subsequently remanded in the Olokuta Correctional Centre.
The Prosecution Counsel, Salami, presented evidence that the convicts, armed with AK-47 rifles and dynamite, carried out the robberies that shook the communities of Akure and Idanre, during the trial.
Having stated that the defendants were unanimous in their confessions and the role each of them played in the operations, Justice Fasanmi consequently sentenced all the defendants to death by hanging in each of the counts.
