ThankGod Ebohs, the prisoner whose execution was delayed on Monday has said that his only regret was his inability to see the three children delivered to him by three different women.
He is to die by firing squad but his execution was delayed because Robbery and Firearms Tribunal was abolished in Edo State in1999.
ThankGod spoke to reporters in 2010 inside the Benin Prisons when he joined other inmates to enroll in an educational facility provided for the inmates by Patrick Eholor.
Four convicted inmates, Chima Ejiofor, Daniel Nsofor, Osarenmwinda Aiguokhan and Richard Igagu were executed on Monday by officials of the Nigeria Prison Services after a High Court ruling against their appeal.
Edo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Henry Idahagbon, said ThankGod was convicted in Kaduna by a Robbery and Firearm Tribunal for robbery, rape and murder.
Idahagbon told journalists that ThankGod robbed a family, raped the wife of the family head and forced a bottle into the vagina of the woman which led to her death.
Ejiofor killed a child delivered to him by a Bini woman out of wedlock.
He said, “Chima was a spareparts dealer in Benin. He impregnated an Edo woman and had a child. Several years later he went back to his village and married an Ibo woman. During Christmas, he invited the child to spend the holiday with him. When the child came, he killed him saying he does not want to have a child outside wedlock.”
