AN Abuja high court on Monday sentenced three policemen to death for armed robbery, MITV television and state-run radio Nigeria reported. The riot policemen had in February in Okene, a major city in central Kogi state, killed five people after robbing them of huge sums of money, the reports said. The court found Benjamin Oyakhire, Jimoh Michael and Johnson Shaba guilty of involvement in an armed robbery operation for which they had earlier been arrested. Judge Umaru ruled that the three convicts die by hanging, adding that all evidence before the court showed that they were responsible for the death of the five victims, the reports said. – AFP
