The convicts had participated in a robbery incident in Offa in April 2018, during which they robbed at least five commercial banks in the ancient town.

Many people, including nine policemen, were killed in the incident which involved the stealing of an undisclosed sum of money from the banks.

The court had allowed the convicts to take the plea of allocutus (Plea of mercy) but eventually sentenced all of them to death by hanging.

Justice Salman said : “The five of you shall be hanged on your neck until you are dead to serve as a lesson to others.”
