The Ikeja High Court on the 27th of March sentenced a domestic staff known Joseph Ogbu, to death by hanging after he killed his 89-year-old employer, Ajoke John, and her daughter, Oreoluwa John who was 38, in Lagos.
The convict, who comes from Oju Local Govt Area of Benue State, fatally killed the victims at their residence at Number four Ogunlana Drive in Surulere, on the 19th of June 2019, 24 hours after he was employed.
Justice Modupe Nicole-Clay held that the prosecution had valiantly proven the 3-count charge centering on armed robbery and murder against the convict.
Nicole-Clay held that the defendant revealed the crime as he conceded to living with the deceased and was just the only witness of the incident.
“He Killed Adejoke by strangling her and Oreoluwa by stabbing her to death. As the defense did not raise an objection to the admissibility of the confessional statement, there is no doubt that the defendant confessed to the crimes”
“I have considered the evidence of the security guard, an Okada man, one Yahya Ibrahim, the house help, and a police Inspector”.
