Justice Chiwendu Nwogu of a High court sitting in Port Harcourt has sentenced three persons to death by hanging after they were convicted for the kidnapped and murder of a thirty-two year old young lawyer , Sampson Worlu in 2015. The three convicts, Chiwendu Alozie, Wilfred Jumbo and Gift Amadi were tried for kidnapping, conspiracy to murder and murder. They were arrested in 2016 with the help of investigation conducted by Department of State Security Service after the family of the Late Lawyer Sampson Worlu reported the matter. Justice Chiwendu Nwogu who convicted the three persons said evidence provided by the prosecution team and the confessional statements by the accused are weighty enough and the court relied on them to deliver the judgment. Justice Nwogu said the court is convinced that they committed the crime and the law can not look the other way round. Our correspondent reports that Chijioke Wisdom one of the persons arrested along with the three convicted persons died while in prison custody and three others who allegedly participated in the kidnapping and murder of the late lawyer are still at large. Meanwhile, two family members Charles Worlu and George Chindah shortly after the court proceedings spoke with our correspondent. They were happy that Justice have been served but regretted that the kidnappers despite taking ransom of one million from them still went ahead to kill a young lawyer who was on one year mandatory NYSC service at Imo State.
