The man was sentenced to three years in jail for stealing a telephone handset worth N17, 000 even as pension thief who stole N2billion is freed

Less than 24 hours after an Abuja High Court sentenced Pension Thief John Yakubu Yusuf to two years in prison for admitting to stealing around N2 billion, an Ikare Magistrate Court in Ondo State has sentenced another man to three years in prison for stealing a telephone handset worth N17, 000.

The Abuja court had on Monday sentenced the former director of the Police Pension Board , John Yakubu Yusuf, to two-year imprisonment.

Mr. Yusuf pleaded guilty to two-count charges of embezzling about N2 billion of the total N33 billion stolen from police pensions. He was, however, given an option of fine of N250, 000 instead of going to jail.

Adepoju Jamiu, 23, living in Ondo was not so lucky. On Tuesday, the Ikare Magistrate Court sentenced him to three years imprisonment for stealing a China Blackberry phone worth N17, 000. Like pension thief Yusuf, Mr. Jamiu also pleaded guilty to the charge.

If the ratio of years of sentence was relative to the amount stolen and the same law was used to try both men, should Mr. Jamiu be jailed 3 years, Mr., Yusuf would have been sentenced to at least 110,000 years in jail.

Not only was Mr. Jamiu given a seemingly incomparable jail sentence, he was not given an option of fine by Chief Magistrate Sunday Adeniyan.

Mr. Jamiu’s crime, the police prosecutor, Aigbojie Amileomen, told the court that the stolen phone belonged to one Suleiman Asimiyi.

While briefing the court on the case, the prosecutor said the accused committed the offence in November 2012 at about 5.30 a.m. at Olukare Central Mosque, Inu Odi, Okela, Ikare.

When the case was read, the accused pleaded guilty as charged.

Mr. Adeniyan convicted Mr. Jamiu having found him guilty.

He said Mr. Jamiu’s action violated Section 383(1) and punished him under Section 390(9)of the Criminal Code Cap 37, volume one, laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.

He therefore ordered that Mr. Jamiu should remain in prison for three years without an option of fine.

That is the kind of country we have where the rich will go free for crime committed and the poor will go to jail for nothing. go to our police stations and see the kind of pple that are arrested poor pple that don't even have money to bail themselves. na baba God hand we de

Bad country to be born indeed, A country with none existence of human right,the reckless laws only attract the poor masses and the greedy leaders are above the law.
The surfer too much in Nigeria do we still have some heroes willing to voluntarily sterilized and assassinate the vampires we call leaders from the ground upward? for the future of the country and for our children apart from those idiots Massob,mend in the east whose fingers are soil in greed and are only seen or heard threatening when they are broke and need some payday.anyone?

There is no equality b4 d law,..naija law waz made 2 torment d poor pple...

Injustice at its highest level...all this judges sef na wahoo

Our justice system is really fu.rked up.

dayokanu: Why the guy sef steal small thing and not pension fund

[color=][/color]Seriously does ds country have laws.though stealing is stealing.but aggravated theft like dt billion naira pension thief deserves years of locked away in naija's worst prison.3 years for stealing chinese bbm.we need to revisit our criminal code in ds country and maybe its tym to go gnanam style like china with death sentence for corruption crimes.

Nigerian Judicial system, the worst in the world. F.uck

Crazy init!!! That shows once again that our judiciary system is α total failure where bunch of corrupt Judges dicated the tune and dance to the beat.Ibori was cleared of all charges in Nigeria but was indicted abroad, Government have refused to prosecute Lawan Farouk, even when the edivence is glaring, now this!!! Hmmmmm God please save this space call Nigeria we need your help.

i keep telling nigerians - if you must steal, steal big!!!!
in billions or trillions and you would become an instant celebrity. stealing like a pauper would only end up like ALUU-4 or the other jungle treatments in the country. i have never heard of nigerians burning politicians who stole millions. so steal big and get VIP treatment - steal small and get the ALUU treatment. the choice is yours!

Moral of the story: It pays to steal big in Nigeria

I_diot. His mates are stealing billionaires and he is stealing BlackBerry. Nonsense.
