An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Thursday remanded a 30-year-old
unemployed man, Emmanuel Ijoko, in Kirikiri Prisons for stealing a pair
of jeans-trousers valued at N3,500. The Magistrate, Mrs M.O. Osinbajo,
remanded the accused after he had pleaded guilty to the offence of
stealing.
Osinbajo adjourned the case till Dec. 4 for sentencing. The accused
lives at 6, Ilo St., Off Ipodo Street, Ikeja. The prosecutor, Insp.
Frank Inah, told the court that the offence was committed on Nov. 23 at
Shop 35, Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja.
Inah said that the complainant, Mr Joseph Ogba, was inside his shop
attending to customers when the accused stole a pair of jeans-trousers
displayed outside the shop.
“He was almost going when someone from the other shop sighted him and
ran after him. “The value of the jeans-trousers is N3,500 and the
offence contravened Section 285 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State,
2011,” he said.
Now my question:- What sentences do they give our corrupt leaders who steal our country's money daily?
Its high time we spoke out...
No one should be above the law...
Change!!!
