An Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti has sentenced three individuals to death by hanging after they were found guilty of armed robbery against an 87-year-old woman in Ifaki, Ekiti, on June 12, 2024.

The convicted trio β€” Shadrack Apos (30), Lucky Akpos (33) and Adunola Precious (24) β€” stole ₦147,000 and a wristwatch from the victim while menaced with a gun and wooden plank.

He ordered the convicts to β€œbe hanged by the neck until they are dead.”
