One Jamiu Malomo has been sentenced to death by hanging for killing, one Asisat Akande, a sex worker in Ogun State.

The 22-year-old, who was arraigned on one count charge of murder, was said to have stabbed Aisha to death.

He was convicted and sentenced by an Ogun State High Court sitting in Abeokuta for the crime on Wednesday.

The presiding judge, Justice O. Ogunfowora, held that the prosecution proved its case against the convict beyond reasonable doubts and that the 22-year-old was guilty as charged.

Delivering his judgment, Justice Ogunfowora ruled that the evidence presented by the prosecution was tenable and therefore sentenced Malomo, to death by hanging.

“You are hereby guilty of killing Asisat Akande as preferred against you.

”You will be hanged by the neck until you are dead. May God have mercy on you”, he said.

Earlier, during the trial, the State Prosecuting Counsel, Mr A.M Adebayo, Deputy Director Public Prosecution, told the court that the convict picked Asisat Akande who was a sex worker, from 3AD bar at Panseke area to his house for sexual pleasure.

“After having carnal knowledge of the deceased, she demanded for N10,000 which was their agreement but Malomo refused to give her the the complete money saying he had N8,000.

“The situation led to an argument between him and the deceased which made the convict brought out knife from his pocket and stabbed her on the neck.

“The stab resulted to the instant death of the deceased”, he said.

He noted that Malomo was arrested by the police at the 3AD club in Panseke where he wanted to pick another girl for sexual pleasure.

Adebayo, however, said that the offence committed “Contravened the provisions of section 316 and punishable under section 319 of the Criminal Code, laws of Ogun 2006.”
