IKEJA, Lagos, Nigeria – A special offences court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos  has convicted and sentenced a vulcanizer to death by hanging.

Justice Mojisola Dada sentenced  the 32-year-old vulcaniser, Chidozie Onyinchiz to death for robbing a nurse of N57,000 with the aid of a scissors.

Justice Dada held that the prosecution had proved the three-count-charge of conspiracy, armed robbery and membership of an unlawful society against Onyinchiz.

Dada said the convict’s attempt to wriggle out of the charges was futile.

This, she said was because he had earlier confirmed to the police at Igando, Lagos, that his victim, Mrs  Veronica Uwayzor sighted him and they both recognised each other at the time of the offence.

“The defendant had stated that the complainant pointed at him as one of the boys armed with a pair of scissors and forcefully snatched her bag.
