One Ayodeji Alomoge has been sentenced to death by hanging for killing one Ogunleye Ayomide.
The latter was having affairs with Alomoge’s wife and on that grounds the convict in league with his friends beat Ayomide to death on 21st of June, 2022, at Ikere Ekiti.
The 28-year-old will now pay with his life.
An Ekiti State High Court, Ado Ekiti Division handed down the judgment on Thursday.
Ruling, Justice Jubril Aladejana said, “It would appear to me that rivalry between men over the affection of a woman should not be a ground to justify provocation, except the situation is such that it is sudden and leading to a heating of passion.
“I consequently find the defendant guilty of the murder charge against him and therefore convicted as charged.
“Ayodeji Alomoge shall be hanged by his neck until he be dead.”
