the Nigerian Supreme Court upheld the death sentence

the Nigerian Supreme Court upheld the death sentence passed on Akinola Olatunbosun, for killing a three-month-old baby in 2003 at the All Christian Fellowship Church, Ode Ekiti, Ekiti. Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour delivered the judgment in Abuja.
It was alleged that Mr. Olatunbosun, on or about June 28, 2003 at All Christian Fellowship Church, murdered Joy Olubodun.
On June 28, 2003, a vigil was held at the All Christian Fellowship Church, Ode-Ekiti.
In attendance were several people, including the appellant, the pastor’s wife and her children.
The report said that the appellant first confessed to the father of the deceased, who was the pastor of the church.
He, therefore, took the Oluboduns and the police to the location where he killed and buried the child in a shallow grave.
The body was exhumed and it was found that the child’s eyes were removed and the throat slashed.
