It was a chaotic scene on Monday at the Asaba High Court In Delta,
when two armed robbers escaped from the court immediately the judge
sentenced them to death.
The men, who were found guilty of conspiracy and armed robbery were
eventually re-arrested by two prison guards.
According to some court officials, immediately the judge announced the
sentence, one of them, known as Elvis Agbofodo escaped and ran into a
nearby church where the prison guard found him and shot him in the leg
to keep him immobilized.
The other convict, Frank Okedema, ran in a different direction before
he was apprehended by another prison guard with the aid of residents
of the area.

Court proceedings were reportedly disrupted by the escape attempt as
this caused the prison guards to start shooting sporadically. The
judge, court officials, lawyers and other persons in the area ran for
their lives to avoid being hit by flying bullets.
