Pocket Picker Sentence To 21years Imprisonment In Ikeja High Court
Mr Sodiq Adetayo on Wednesday was slam 21 years’ imprisonment by a Lagos State High Court in Ikeja for robbing a 38-year-old schoolteacher, Mrs. Kabirat Kazeem.
Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye, who handed down the sentence, found Adetayo guilty of one count of robbery though the police had charged him with armed robbery.
according to the judge, the charge of armed robbery could not be sustained against Adetayo because the policeman that apprehended him failed to recover the knife allegedly used by the convict to commit the crime.
Justice Ipaye held, “I am satisfied that the prosecution has proven the charge of robbery beyond reasonable doubt.
“I find you, Sodiq Adetayo, guilty of one count of robbery contrary to Section 294 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
