An Ijede Magistrates’ Court near Ikorodu, Lagos State on Tuesday discharged a man, Kazeem Ajiga, who allegedly lynched another man for stealing his aluminium roofing sheets.
Ajiga was arraigned on Tuesday for taking laws into his hands by executing jungle justice on a suspect, Raheem Omoyele, whom he accused of stealing his property.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Omoyele was on Monday brought before Olagbegi-Adelabu on a charge of stealing 25 aluminium roofing sheets belonging to Ajiga.
The Magistrate, Mrs Jumoke Olagbegi-Adelabu rules that Since Ajiga has shown remorse, caution and did not waste this court’s time by pleading guilty, I hereby discharge him and strike out the case.

Even if the dead man has no relations, I believe we have not heard the last of this case.Where are the human right lawyers and NGO.
ReplyDeleteThis judge needs some training. You discharge somebody because they pleaded guilty? University of Ijebuode. Please go back to school!
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaat????????
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing in the story that speaks of murder. The headline is totally misleading and unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteThere is actually no murder case here. Nobody was killed. The author of this story is suffering from cerebral malaria. They would have rather say ATTEMPTED MURDERER and not murderer. I guess the thief was badly beaten before been prosecuted. The judge considering the gravity of the punishment meted on the thief decides to release him after his admittance.
