The Court of Appeal has upheld the death sentence passed on five men convicted over the deadly 2018 bank robbery in Offa, Kwara State, declaring that the convicts must be executed by hanging.
The appellate court, sitting in Ilorin, dismissed the appeals filed by the convicts, describing their arguments as lacking merit and affirming the judgment of the Kwara State High Court which found them guilty of armed robbery, illegal possession of firearms and culpable homicide.
