Papa Jailed For Stealing Cloth And Cash by giditrend: 8:01am On Mar 11, 2013
AN Owo Chief Magistrate court has
jailed a 63-year-old grandfather, Benjamin
Stephen three years after he allegedly stole
N40, 000 cash and clothing materials worth
N16, 000 in Owo area of the state.
The prosecuting witness, Inspector Akomlafe
Joseph said the accused person entered the
restaurant of Mrs Funmilayo Adewole at Ikare
junction where he committed the offence
after eating.
Joseph said the accused person after eating
stole the complainant’s money and two
different clothing materials of 54yards and
fled since 2010.
The prosecutor said the accused was seen at
the same scene where he committed the
offence three years later and was recognised
and the police was invited which led to his
arrest.
When the court’s charge was read, the
accused person pleaded guilty as charged.
The presiding Chief Magistrate; S O
Olowookere, found him guilty and convicted
him accordingly.
The accused was sentenced to six months
imprisonment with an option of N50,000 fine.
He was asked to pay N56,000 to the
complainant.
Meantime, in another development a father of
two Niyi Ajayi has prayed a customary court
sitting in Akure to dissolve his 20 year
marriage.
Ajayi said that the wife Funke has stopped
cooking for him in the last 13 years of their
marriage.
He told the customary court that he was tired
of the marriage because of the attitude of the
wife towards him.
According to him the wife had abandoned
him by packing out of the house leaving him
with their first child who is sick.
But the wife in her response denied the
allegation saying that she had been
performing all her duties as a wife and
mother.
Funke accused the husband for been a chain
smoker adding that she was ready for the
separation by the court.
However the court ruled that the couple
should allow peace to reign in their marriage
and advised the petitioner to be tolerant
The matter was later adjourned till April 1 this
year.
