Man sentenced to death speaks up

Earlier, Legit.ng reported Segun Olowookere, the 31-year-old reportedly sentenced to death by hanging in Osun state for stealing fowls, said he surrendered himself to the police when they came looking for him in April 2010.

Legit.ng recalled that Olowookere and his accomplice, Morakinyo Sunday, were accused of breaking into homes and stealing fowls, eggs, and valuables.

In a fresh interview, the embattled youth said the Nigerian police would have released him had his parents raised the N30,000 demanded for his bail on time.
