Court sentenced four herdsmen to death for kidnapping and murder
In a recent verdict, the Osun State High Court in Ede sentenced Issa Ibrahim, a herdsman, along with Lateef Bello, Abdulrahman Soliu, Bello Ibrahim, and Jolaanabi Saheed to death for the kidnapping and murder of Issa’s father, Adamu Ibrahim, following the collection of a N3 million ransom.
The defendants faced charges of conspiracy, kidnapping, and murder, with Ajibola Shared, mother of Jolaanabi, later acquitted of involvement. Despite their pleas of not guilty, the Osun State Ministry of Justice’s prosecuting counsel, Moses Faremi, presented compelling evidence during the trial, including witness testimonies from two of the deceased’s sons and a police officer.
“They kidnapped Adamu from his house and took him to the house of Jolaanabi. They demanded for ransom of N10 million and later reduced same to N3 million which was paid and delivered at Sagamu in Ogun-State.
“While the deceased was in their den, the veil on his face fell off and he recognized his abductors after which they killed and dismembered his body and threw the parts into the Osun River to cover the crime.
“Issa, one of the convicts, who is the son of the deceased, told other gang members that his father did not give him his birthright, hence, urged them to kidnap him for ransom of either money or cow,” the prosecutor said.
Justice Kudirat Akano, in her ruling, upheld the prosecution’s case based on confessional statements and eyewitness testimony, sentencing the defendants to concurrent terms of 14 years imprisonment for conspiracy and kidnapping, and death by hanging for murder.

The Labour Party (LP) has firmly rejected claims that it is collaborating with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the 2027 elections.
The allegations, made by human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju in a viral video, were addressed in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
The LP emphasized its role as the leading opposition party, with its National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, consistently criticizing the current administration’s policies.
The party highlighted its post-2023 election efforts to hold the government accountable while advocating for reforms in Nigeria’s electoral system.
According to Ifoh, the LP remains committed to credible governance and dismissed any insinuations of collusion as baseless.
Describing Adeyanju’s claims as damaging and unfounded, the party challenged him to provide evidence to support his allegations.
The LP reaffirmed its stance as a principled opposition force determined to ensure fair and transparent leadership selection processes in the country.
A 25-year-old Indian man, Rohitash Kumar, narrowly escaped being cremated alive in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, after being mistakenly declared dead by hospital staff.
Kumar, who had hearing and speech difficulties, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday following an epileptic seizure. A doctor declared him dead without conducting a mandatory postmortem examination, and his body was sent for cremation.
As the funeral pyre was about to be lit, witnesses noticed Kumar’s body moving. He was immediately taken back to the hospital, where he died the next day during treatment.
The incident has led to the suspension of three doctors, with police launching an investigation into the negligence. Authorities have promised strict action to prevent such errors in the future.
