An Ondo State High Court has sentenced two brothers, Issac Sunday and Isaac Lucky, to death for armed robbery in Ondo, Ondo State.
The court also sentenced one Ovie Nana Friday to death for the same offence.
The two brothers and Friday were said to have conspired to rob the residents of the community of their mobile phone, cash and other valuables, brandishing guns and other dangerous weapons.
They were arrested by security agents and charged to court in 2014.
The convicts were arraigned before the court on charges bordering on conspiracy and serial robberies.
The prosecution led by Chief Legal Officer in the Ondo State Ministry of Justice, Mr Olusegun Akeredolu called four witnesses and tendered confessional statements of the defendants, which were admitted by the court.
The defendants represented by their counsel, Mr Samson Iluyemi, gave evidence for themselves but tendered no exhibit.
In his judgement, trial judge, Justice Yemi Fasanmi said the prosecution has proved its case beyond all reasonable doubts and sentenced the defendants to death by hanging.
