After 11 years of trial, Godffrey Hanson, Chima Wokoma and Andy Clement have been sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Chief, Precious Nwali and Charles Nwogu, a former director at the state Ministry of Health.
The accused persons were facing a nine count charge bordering on conspiracy and murder.
Presiding judge, Justice Adolphous Eneebeli noted that the prosecution team proved their case against the convicts, while delivering judgement.
Meanwhile, the judge discharged the 3rd defendant, noting that the prosecution team failed to prove the case against him.
