Robbery & Rape: 26-year-old Furniture Maker Sentenced To Death By Hanging in Warri

Chijioke Ede was sentenced to death by hanging yesterday at a Delta High Court sitting in Warri, for robbing a couple at gunpoint and raping their teenage daughter.

The 26-year-old furniture maker was found guilty on a three-count charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and rape before the court presided over by Justice Marshall Mukoro.

He was sentenced to death on count one and two, while he got life imprisonment on the charge of rape.
