An FCT High Court has ruled that two dismissed police officers are to die for their involvement in armed robbery.
Justice Peter Kekemeke gave the ruling on Thursday when he said the convicts, James Ejeh and Simeon Abraham would pay the ultimate price for their crime.
Both convicts were arraigned on Oct. 20, 2017 by the FCT Commissioner of Police on two counts of conspiracy and armed robbery. Kekemeke while delivering judgment, held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubts by calling four witnesses.
He held that the evidence before the court proved that the convicts committed robbery while armed. The Judge added also that there was admission of guilt by the convicts and no evidence was stronger than their own admission.
