Two security guards, Ayuba Idris and Tasur Abubakar, have been sentenced to death by hanging for killing a couple, Kwaku Kwakye and his wife, Tope Kwakye, in Ondo State.
The convicts were arrested by the police in 2019 for killingthe couple at their residence at Ojomo Akintan Estate along Ilesa/Owo Expressway, Akure.
The police said the convicts were security guards in the employ of the deceased before killing her and fleeing. They were, however, arrested shortly after.
The duo were charged to court on five counts of conspiracy, armed robbery and murder and the matter has been on since 2019.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Williams Olamide of State High Court sitting in Akure, said the prosecution had not successfully proved that the convicts were guilty of count one and two and discharged and acquitted them.
But the court sentenced them to seven years imprisonment on count three which borders on conspiracy contained in count.
The court also found the convicts guilty of count four and five and sentenced them to death by hanging .
