I am not for pardoning him but the verdict was outrageous. The least they could have done was charge him for illegal gun possession and robbery. This isnt murder case. If they wanted to sentence him to death for stealing, they should have started that with politicians.

What! All he has stolen is not even up to 500k, hmmm. Somer who stole iPhone the other time is now a freeman. I am not supporting him, but a lighter judgment will do.

injustice! at least the judge should pardon him and tell him to return the stolen phone which he had stole and not by sentencing him to death by hanging. Only if there is anything involve in his crime that he has committed.

Guess it is the use of arms in robbing rather than the value of the items stolen that makes it armed robbery which offence the law makers imposed death sentence. If that is the only sentence for such offence under the law, then the judge has no option of punishing otherwise. The law is supreme and unless changed, sentiments have no place in it.
Sad though!

I plead for mercy o. He did not kill anybody, although armed. You sef, Haba? Why carry weapon to go rob for cell phone? Abi you be olori buruku (misfortune head). Please spare his life, he can still become a useful member of society. 20 years in jail is appropriate. Don’t waste lives for the sake of sentiment. Nigerian Politian looters deserve to be fed live to crocodiles, hanging them is not good enough punishment for stealing billions from our treasury.

Stealing a cellphone or any possession of another person is a crime but stealing it using a deadly weapons is serious offense that carry death penalty only in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other crazy nations. If he shot and killed someone during the robbery attempt or operation, then case closed; Mr.Femi should be hang to death tomorrow morning. But if that is not the case, this criminal should be sent to jail for some years not up to 20 years. This is injustice of the highest order In a corrupt and messed up nation like Nigeria. Why? Fishermans Ibinado killed a medical doctor under the influence of alcohol, after barely 2 weeks in prison, she was released under the disguise that she had cancer. What about death by hanging penalty for all our former Presidents, governors, senators, commissioners, and reps that looted our nation to destruction? What about death penalty for Patience Jonathan, Badluck Jonathan, Saraki, Obasanjo, IBB, Abu Salam Abubakar, Atiku, Abacha family, Fani Kayode, Reubens Abati, Raymond Dopesi, Dansunki, Pius Anyum Pius, Peter Odele, and other looters and criminals that rendered our beloved nation powerless, unproductive, underdeveloped, and ridicule of the world? Criminal armed robbers like Femi Aseye with no blood in their hands should be in prisons and not hang for robbing blackberry cellphone. That will amount to wicked justice. Shikenah!
