It was a ridiculous end for two Police officers attached to Anti-terrorism unit whose names are James Ejeh and Simeon Abraham.



The two ex officers have been sentenced to death for armed robbery as the Judge submitted they deserved no pity for the offence committed in the Federal Capital territory, Abuja.

Justice Peter Kekemeke of an FCT High Court on Thursday on the two later dismissed Policemen for armed robbery.

The convicts were arraigned on 20th October, 2017 by the FCT Commissioner of Police on two counts of conspiracy and armed robbery.

While delivering judgment, Justice Kekemeke held that the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubts by calling four witnesses.

Kekemeke held that the evidence before the court proved that the convicts committed robbery while armed.

He also held that there was admission of guilt by the convicts and no evidence was stronger than their own admission.

“Left to me, I will say go and sin no more but it is about the law. It is about the law and the society. The law has placed a duty on me to carry this out.”
