Man Who Stole N50,000 Gets N40,000 Fine Or 6 Months Jail Term

    An Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun today, sentenced one
    Joshua Sunday, 23, to six months imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to
    stealing N50,000 from one Olaoye Temitope. The Chief Magistrate, however, gave
    the convict an option to pay N40, 000 as fine.
    The Prosecutor, Sgt. Abdulkareem Mustapha, told the court
    that the convict committed the crime on Oct.13 at about 12.30 p.m. at Idiroko
    Road in Ota. Mustapha had alleged that the accused was caught in the act
    removing money from the complainant’s pocket. He said that Sunday was
    subsequently, handled over to the police.

    He explained the offence contravened Section 390(9) of the
    Criminal Code Volume 1 of the Revised Laws of Ogun State, 2006, hence his
    sentence.
