How could a phone thief get 45 years in jail and Bode George got 2 years?
Tinubu got nothing and Lagos Speaker who also stole billions will likely get nothing?
And SW youths are not on the street protesting this kangaroo judgement?
OR is it because the thief, Kevin Ighodalo, is Edo, and not Yoruba? But EDO is ACN now.
Can Oshiomhole and Aregbe work things out here?

How many protests have you seen in any part of Nigeria because of what you pointed out? This is Nigeria; East, West or North, we are all the same in this!

But SW people always claim to be the champions of protests against injustice. Is it only when it comes to the presidency and fuel increase that they protest? What is more injustice than these double standards

ODE SINCE YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT WHY CAN'T YOU LEAD THE PROTEST ABI BECAUSE THE ROBBER IS A YORUBA MAN? AND BECAUSE THE COURT WHERE THE JUDGEMENT WAS GIVEN IS A YORUBA COURT ABI? YOU ARE JUST A CONFUSED TRIBALIST AND YOU NEED THE HELP OF A HERBALIST.

THE 45 YEARS WILL RUN concurrently and that's like 6 years and some month for a man who stole the phone of a governor and impersonate him by using his name to dupe someone in Ilesha the sum of N500,000.00. If that is not justice then GEJ is sure your mentor. So before you cry 'injustice' arm yourself with the fact. Yorubas are learned people they don't act like goats like you

Omo ole. I am not ACN, I am not Yoruba, I do not live in SW, I have not claimed to champion justice. Why should I do your protest for you?

Yeah! But Bode George got 2 years and Tinubu got nothing. And, the fact that you CLAIM to be learned does not mean you are learned. Lizards fall off trees and nod their heads in self-recognition. Others will tell you how learned you are, not you telling yourself, especially when the opposite is apparent.

Why should SW Youth protest over the jailing of a ibo thief? A thief is a thief and should be punished... I dont care how hash the punish is. He left SE to come and steal here... Even if they setence him to death, who cares?

You see why most people on earth consider Yaribas eternal ignoramuses? You share physical land boundary and political party with Edo state and you do not even know that Ighodalo is a typical Edo name. What else do you know? Can you count 1 to 100 correctly at all? Mumu

Your people went to protest for Bode George when he was jailed. Hypocrits

But they protested for bigger thieves, Tinubu and Bode George. Did you not see them in court with placards?

Which human will not protest?

But the same SW people protested for Bode George and did not allow the court to do its duty in the case of Tinubu because they were threatening the peace of the court environment.

@ OP: your signature renders you and ur posts bias and useless.

The OP is mischievous, protest over what? The convict is a career criminal having served 6 years earlier in connection with a murder case. The sentence handed to him is justified as he's a repeat offender and baring in mind that the sentences are to run concurrently.
So OP carry your wahala or protest somewhere else.

Was Olabode George ever convicted for stealing?


(Education is very important in a democracy. Democracy is government of the people by the people and for the people. How will the people make important decisions when they don't even know how their government works?)

I am really ashamed of Nairaland. OP of course is a bigot. His previous posts show that conclusively. What is disappointing is that he has supplied a pack of lies all the replies here cannot even simply ridicule with facts. Perhaps he is working with the mindset that people here react instinctively and bigotedly, without inspecting simple facts, to curse and fight each other.

The fact is that the convicted man will spend ten years in jail not 45. He was sentenced for six offences with total of all sentences equalling 45 years. The sentences are concurrent and will run along each other meaning he serves the time for the highest singular offence i.e 10 years.

Secondly, the man did not just "steal a governor's phone" as the baiter OP deceitfully writes. He committed several offences related to the theft of that phone to include extortion and obtaining property by deception. He was sentenced appropriately within guideline provision.

Third, the offender, a dismissed Police officer, had previously served 6 years related to murder, theft and political thuggery.

http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/man-bags-45-years-imprisonment-stealing-governor-aregbesola%E2%80%99s-phone

The governor’s cell phone was stolen on Nov. 28, 2010, at his swearing-in-ceremony.
Six months later, Ighodalo, a dismissed police officer, used the phone to swindle the governor’s friends and associates.
The accused had earlier served jail terms for murder, theft and political thuggery.

He has therefore re-offended and the judge must take this into consideration. All these fact I state here can be noted from most article regarding this case and I can only assume everyone just reads headlines and begin shouting here. OP is a fool and deserves to be ignored but if he is to be replied then that should be with facts and not further ignorant validation of his lies and deceit. This is how lies and deceit, unchallenged, become 'truth'. Personally, we should all look at ourselves as well. For the sake of self-improvement/development, is it not better to make efforts to work with facts and ease up on the emotional approach to everything?

An example of a standard article that reveals the main facts of the case for those who read beyond the title rather than just make hasty conclusions from it to then begin working themselves into a frenzy. OP is clearly ignorant and has shown himself to be a mischief-maker who did not read beyond the title yet it is clear he is not the only one guilty of not reading beyond the title or inspecting things further to establish essential facts.

Man jailed 45 years for stealing Aregbesola’s phone

APRIL 30, 2013 BY TUNDE ODESOLA, OSOGBO 301 COMMENTS


For stealing a N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone belonging to Governor Rauf Aregbesola, a 31-year-old Kelvin Ighodalo has been sentenced to 45-year imprisonment by an Osogbo High Court.

Ighodalo stole the phone from the pocket of Aregbesola on November 27, 2010, when the governor was being inaugurated at Government Technical College, Osogbo.

Justice Oyejide Falola, who heard the case, found Ighodalo guilty on six counts, which included conspiracy, stealing and fraud.

He was sentenced to 10-year imprisonment for the first three counts and five years for each of the last three which included impersonation, obtaining property by falsehood and collusion.

Falola, who ruled that Ighodalo deserved the jail term, held that the convict used the phone to obtain N500, 000 from the Owa of Ilesa, Oba Adekunle Aromolaran, while he obtained N200, 000 from Mr Shengen Rahman, an associate of the governor.

The jail term, which Falola pronounced will run concurrently, means that Ighodalo will spend the next 10 years behind bars.

Assistant principal state counsel, Mr Biodun Badiora, told the court that the convict had served six-year imprisonment in Ikoyi prison custody in connection with a murder case in 2005.

Counsel to Ighodalo, Mr. Ameachi Ngwu, prayed the court to commit him to community service, stressing that the convict should not be incarcerated but rather be placed where people could see him as a convict.

^^^

That's why I asked him if Bode George was convicted of stealing. He seems to be ignorant of the meaning of the terms "charge", "count" and even ignorant of the facts of the cases he mentioned.

Still on page 1?
