Eight persons on Tuesday appeared before an Osogbo Magistrates’ Court in Osun over the theft of 1,000 chickens from a poultry farm.
The accused include Odebiyi Yinka, 20; Ayoola Samson, 20; Cecilia Ochilla, 35; and Elizabeth Akira, 30.

Others are: Oyelami Tajudeen, 30; Regina Philip, 40; Grace Odelia, 35; and Akira Hanna, 24.

The accused and others at large are facing charges bordering on stealing.

The Prosecutor, Insp. Taiwo Adegoke told the court that the accused committed the offence between the months of May, June and July at Erin-Osun, Osogbo.

Adegoke said the accused conspired with others now at large to steal 1, 000 chickens owned by one Mrs Titilayo Akulo.

He said that Odebiyi and Ayoola, who are co-workers at Aluko Poultry Farm, conspired to steal 1, 000 chickens valued at about N1.5 million.

The prosecutor said the accused sold the chickens to the six other persons at the total sum of N1.2 million.

He said the offences contravened Sections 516, 390(9), 383(9) and 427 of the Criminal Code cap 34 Vol.11, Laws of Osun, 2003.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty.

Counsel to the accused, Mrs. Bose Dada, prayed the court to grant her clients bail in the most liberal terms.

The Magistrate, Mr Olusola Aluko, granted the accused bail in the sum of N 100,000, with two sureties each in like sum.

Aluko said the sureties must reside within the court’s jurisdiction.

He adjourned the case to Nov. 25, for hearing.

Nigeria's law is only againts the poor alone. How many politicians have gone to jail for all they've embezzled?

They catch a common man on the street and beat him up to pump. While our politicians are stealing the Nations's treasury. They can't even protest to Abuja ro demand those politicians to be probed and sent to jail.

How am i sure you are not one of them.....

Bros weep for urself o.....

We're not saying that's an avenue for them to steal.

What we are saying is the gravity of their crimes compared to what our politicians are doing. They shouldn't go to jail if our politicians can't go to jail simple. Why is it only the poor that is suffering the Law in this country?

The question is, how many of our politicians have served up to 1Month in jail? And yet they keep telling you guys they are fighting needless corruption that they can't start from their houses.

For those that may be quick to disapprove the decision of the court, remember, if we don't get it right with the chickens, one day, goats would follow n probably cattle next. Then the Fulani herdsmen wuld go on rampage. IPOB next...n so on.
Thats how a society deteriorate.

And you think you have succeeded in making any point?

What is the difference between what these poultry looters have done and looting the public fund by Politicians?
If these same set of people have assess to public fund like Politicians, won't they loot more than them?

Moreover, you said what they have stolen is far less than what Politicians have stolen. Do you know what percentage of the poultry owner that could have been?
Do you know if what the investment on the poultry is the woman's life saving?
If you have ever invested in something before, then you realize what it is for the investment to be looted!

Lastly, you made mention of Politicians walking freely, who is meant to hold them responsible for every penny looted/spent?
Aren't the same Nigerians they govern, since it is a public fund belonging to Nigerians?

The owner of the poultry invited the EFCC to investigate the case, you stayed before your phone pressing your keypad to compare Politicians' loot!
I'm so sure you didn't even read the content of the news before posting!

The looters will surely be looted.....

And what if the poultry owner stole the money from the treasury

You will argue that they weren't caught so because these ones were unfortunate they should hang them?

The politicians that are stealing today were criminals when the were these age so dnt say if these ones get there they will steal. It's the same thing.

What is this one saying?

Who is the looter being looted here?

Don't come here with any fallacious post of unwarranted assumption!

You mean no one can invest as a Nigerian in this country without looting any fund?
You must be outrightly seriously unserious!

Do you ever see the owner of the poultry, Pastor Titilayo Aluko being affiliated with any public office in the news?
