Barely eight days after receiving a pardon from Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, Sunday Omisakin has been remanded in the Ilesa Correctional Facility for allegedly breaking into a residence to steal a television
Omisakin, listed as number eight on the governor’s prerogative of mercy list signed on December 26, 2024, had been pardoned for a minor offence.
However, on January 3, 2025, he was arrested for allegedly burgling a residence in Osogbo and stealing a plasma television worth N600,000.
He was arraigned before the Osun State Magistrate Court in Osogbo, presided over by Magistrate Adekanmi Adeyeba, on two counts of burglary and theft.

According to Police Prosecutor Inspector, Kayode Adeoye, the incident occurred at about 12:00 p.m. on January 3, 2025, at the Al-Medinat Area, Iludun, Osogbo, where Omisakin allegedly broke into Shittu Damilare’s house and stole a plasma television.
The prosecutor stated that the offences contravened sections 411 (1) (2), 363, and 390(9) of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. II Laws of Osun State of Nigeria 2002.
Omisakin pleaded not guilty, as his counsel, Najite Okobe, urged the court to grant him bail on liberal terms. However, the prosecutor opposed the bail request, emphasizing that Omisakin had recently been pardoned and had not completed his prior sentence.
Magistrate Adeyeba denied bail and ordered that Omisakin be remanded in the Ilesa Correctional Facility. The case was adjourned to January 10, 2025, for further proceedings and subsequently to February 2025 for hearing.
