The Supreme Court, on Friday, upheld death by hanging for a convicted Delta-based kidnapper, Chelynor Halim.
In a unanimous decision, a five‑member panel of the apex court dismissed the convict’s appeal as lacking in merit.
A High Court in Asaba, Delta State, held in 2017 that the proof of evidence established Halim’s involvement in armed robbery and kidnapping.
