8 COURT: This Court has now found you NFALLY KOLLEY guilty of the offence of Murder under Section 187 of the Criminal Code. Before sentence is passed on you, the Court would like to know if you or Counsel on your behalf will like to say anything in mitigation. ALLOCUTUS - Mrs. Ogbedo: My Lord we are asking for mercy. We urge the Court to show pass sentence with leniency. SENTENCE I have carefully listened to the plea for leniency, and I have also considered the fact that the convict is a first time offender. I would have been tempted to temper justice with mercy in passing sentence. However, the law itself does not afford this Court any discretion. Since the acts of the accused person leading to the death of the deceased involved the use of violence, I shall accordingly and in terms of Section 188 of the Criminal Code as read with Section 18 (2) of the Constitution, EMMANUEL A. NKEA JUDGE SENTENCE THE CONVICT AS FOLLOWS: 1. Convict is sentenced to death. 2. Pursuant to Section 250 Criminal Procedure Code I direct that the death sentence be carried out by hanging. 3. May God have mercy on your soul! 4. Convict is reminded of his right to appeal in terms of Section 251 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
