An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court, Ibadan, on Wednesday, sentenced a man, Muideen Nasiru, 18, to 39 months imprisonment for stealing aluminium frames and other items worth N500,000 from a church. The magistrate, Mrs O.K. Omotosho, sentenced Nasiru after he pleaded guilty to a three-count of conspiracy, break-in and stealing. Omotosho said the convict should spend his prison term at Agodi Prisons, Ibadan.
“The young boy is a thief, no doubt he has a godfather who buys the stolen things from him. It will be better if he is incarcerated; he may learn a thing or two in prison. He is hereby sentenced to three months imprisonment on count one, 18 months on count two and 18 months on count three,” she said. Omotosho, however, held that the sentence should run concurrently.
