Satisfied that the woman was dead, he made away with her phones and a cash sum of twenty six thousand Naira (26,000)<\/p>\n<p>During interrogation, the suspect confessed to have committed the crime. He said he has never met Ms Obot until the day he attacked her and that he was motivated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/17\/daredevil-robber-killed-in-gun-battle-two-suspected-cultists-arrested-in-delta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rob<\/a> the deceased to enable him offset his hotel bill having spent two days above the one day he paid for.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo sentenced Usulor after he approached the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) for a plea bargain agreement in which he would plead guilty to the crime.<\/p>\n<p>The DPP had in the agreement approved a term of 21 years\u2019 imprisonment which would begin from the date of Usulor\u2019s remand.<\/p>\n<p>However, during Tuesday\u2019s proceedings, the judge rejected the proposed prison term, saying that it was too lenient.<\/p>\n<p>The judge said she would exercise the power conferred on her by Section 75 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law to increase the prison term to 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>She eventually reduced Usulor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/09\/21\/rivers-prophetess-dies-two-days-after-she-was-sentenced-to-life-imprisonment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prison sentence<\/a> to 28 years following plea for leniency by his counsel, Mr Spurgeon Ataene.<\/p>\n<p>In the plea, Ataene told the court to temper justice with mercy.
