A Fulani herdsman, Musa Barugun, has been sentenced to death by an Ebonyi State High Court sitting in Abakaliki, the state capital, for allegedly murdering one Chibueze Nkwegu at Sharon town in Izzi Local Government Area of the state.

Our Correspondent reports that Justice Alloy Nwankwo handed down the sentence on Barugun after the prosecution had proven its case beyond every doubt that in February 2013, the convict had killed the victim during an argument by stabbing him in the chest and stomach with a dagger.
