The kidnappers of two Reverend sisters and their driver along the Benin/Ore/Lagos highway, in Ondo state four years ago have been sentenced to death by hanging.

A state High Court sitting in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Monday sentenced a 36-year-old man, Jelili Agemo to death by hanging for armed robbery, and unlawful possession of fire arms.

In her application, she said: “The honourable trial judge erred in law when having taken arguments on the appellant’s preliminary objection to the validity of the charge on the 19th of March, 2018 failed to rule on it at the conclusion of trial or at any other time.“
