There was com-motion at an Asaba High Court,
yesterday, as two robbery suspects took everybody unawares and escaped
from the court room immediately the judge sentenced them to death by
hanging, having found them guilty on two-count charges of armed
robbery.
The two suspects who were in the dock without handcuffs
jumped out, and became violent, used a wooden barricade used to block
traffic leading to the court to hit prison officials chasing them.
The convicts were one Elvis Agbofodo and Frank Okedema both from Ekpan community, Uvwie Local Government Area of the state.
Prosecution had told the court that they robbed the residence of one Mrs. Mercy Omatseye of valuables and cash on July 8, 2010.
Both
of them were, however, re-arrested with the assistance of the residents
of the area. One of the them was shot by armed prisons official who
pursued him to a nearby church premises, about 100 metres from the
court.
As a result of the incident which took place at about
11.30 am, further proceedings in the court were disrupted as the judge,
court officials and lawyers scampered for safety as gun shots rented the
air.
New Controller of Prisons in the state, Mr. Joseph
Olanrele, had during a recent courtesy visit to the state
Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Charles Ajuyah (SAN)
expressed worry over the large number of condemned criminals in various
prison formations across the state, noting that it was worrisome as they
(condemned criminals) constantly create problems for prison officials
looking after them while awaiting the hangman.
Ajuyah, on his
part condemned the use of phones by some inmates even while in the
court, saying such act is capable of undermining security of officials
and inmates.
