A High Court sitting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, has sentenced a middle-aged man, one Tersoo Terna, to death by hanging for stealing a Toyota Hilux Jeep belonging to a clergyman.
Justice Adam Onum, on Thursday, convicted the robber for criminal conspiracy and armed robbery.
The robber, according to the state prosecuting counsel, Mrs Jean Abba Ewurum, had told the court that the convict and three others now at large, conspired, attacked and robbed one Reverend Peter Azuana of NKST at Mkar in Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State in May 2012.
