An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan will on Tuesday sentence a 42-year-old man, Abdulahi Mumuni, after he pleaded guilty to stealing yam flour worth N5, 000.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mumuni was arraigned in the court on a one-count charge of theft. The prosecutor, Sgt. Omilana Olufemi, told the court that the accused on Saturday at 8.30 a.m. stole the yam flour from a shop at Bodija Market in Ibadan.

ReplyDeleteOnly Almighty Allah will revenge for the commoners in Nigeria where some Greedy Politicians have stolen the country dead.
ReplyDeleteNobody encourages stealing but in a country where very small number of Nigerians considered themselves superior to other citizens of this blessed country, only Allah can rescue the poor citizens.
At the same time, I strongly encourage those that have little or nothing doing in our big cities to return to their towns or villages to find something doing to keep their honours. One day will be one day when dishonorable politicians will return begging for votes. At this time, they will be made to pay for their crook lives.
Hehehehehehehehehehehehe. It is well. Stealing in any form is completely frowned upon and should not be encouraged. However if the fellow is a first time offender for a crime this trivial I believe the courts in their great wisdom can temper justice with mercy and allow this man go as it is a clear case of desperation that has led the accused down that road.
ReplyDeletePeople now exchange their children for food, some their daughters for livestock.
Alhaja
