The Osun State judiciary Thursday justified the death penalty imposed 10 years ago on fowl thief convict Segun Olowokere and his accomplice, Sunday Morakinyo.
Mr Olowokere and his co-suspected were arrested in Oyan, Odo-Otin Local Government of Osun State in November 2010. They were sentenced to death by the Osun State High Court, Ikirun Division, on 17 December 2014.
Speaking through the Chief Registrar of Osun State High, F. I. Omisade, state’s judiciary said the facts of the case had been distorted and maliciously misrepresented to the generality of the people.
