A 50-year-old Lagos Prince, Adewale Oyekan, and a former domestic servant, Lateef Balogun, (27) were on Monday sentenced to death by an Ikeja High Court for the murder of Alhaja Sikirat Ekun, a 62-year-old businesswoman and politician.
Adewale is the son of Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, Oba of Lagos, who died on March 1, 2003.
The prince hired Balogun for N6,000 to murder Ekun, according to the prosecution.
The convicts, who have been in custody for seven years, murdered Ekun by strangling her and throwing her corpse in a 1,000-feet well in her home.
