Policemen attached to Igando division in Lagos have arrested a man who allegedly stole an infant formula worth N45,000 in a supermarket.

The 28-year-old suspect, Nurudeen Sulaimon, allegedly stole the formula to feed his crying new born baby.

There were different accounts on the circumstance that led to the act. A version said his wife was delivered of a baby last week Saturday, but had difficulty in breast feeding the baby, as her breasts were not bringing out milk. Though the baby was reportedly given water to drink but he kept crying, apparently yearning for milk that could sustain him.

Another version had it that the angry nursing mother, who was discharged the following day from hospital, had a verbal confrontation with her husband over his inability to provide milk for their baby.


Nurudeen
Irked by the humiliation, Sulamon, according to report, charged out of his apartment on Easter Monday, with a promise to get the infant formula. He was said to have gone to a supermarket on Oduso close where he allegedly stole some tins of SMS Gold infant formula, unknown to him that he was being viewed from the Close Circuit Television installed in the supermarket.

Consequently, he was accosted on his way out of the supermarket by the private security men and handed over to policemen at Igando police station from where he was charged to court.

At the station, he reportedly pleaded passionately to be forgiven, blaming his indulgence on poverty, adding that he resorted to stealing because he could not withstand the cry of his new born baby for food.

At the court, he pleaded not guilty. The presiding Magistrate, Mr A. A. Fashola granted Sulamon bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum.

He was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail, while the case was adjourned till April 27.

If you never chop belleful, get enough money for bank, no go near woman say you wan put am belle nah,
Even you woman, no just dey open leg anyhow, abi you like to bring pikin come dis world to come suffer?

What can I even say here?

Honestly, that is not an excuse for him to steal. He should have atleast beg or even to a living church to beg for financial assistance.

Fine accepted no one was willing to help, why should you now start with a cartoon of formular? Why not one tin? Na wa o

No

So much suffering in the land babies and breastfeeding mothers are feeling the pinch a lot more. Just sad

He has no excuse for his action. Stealing has been his specialzation. N45k worth of baby food for just one child at once?

Dont be surprised to see him caught in another supermarket the next day even if he had succeeded with this one.

While Amaechi, Jagaban, Dasuki, Baden and co are still not there.

speechless

ehya i pity this man, he couldn't watch his baby suffer but he could have begged instead of stealing

ZoogerIa

Wish the real big thieves can get fast judgments like these

Hard Knock Life

mtcheeeew

The speed our judicial system uses in prosecuting the crimes of the poor man if they could afford same speed on the elites and rich folks, this country will be a better place!

Can someone do me April Fool pls

The man should be thought protected sex if he is not aware yet. You dont give birth to a baby you clearly cant take care of the BASIC needs, it is wickedness, foolishness and selfishness rolled in to one. I wont be surprised if on the child's naming ceremony he blocked the streets for celebration. He is a moronn, with no iota of planning in his veins.

poverty is not a sin but it can cause someone to be sinful.


Inasmuch as I pity his condition, poverty is not an excuse under the law.

Can you imagine.
Bigger theives ply the streets while petty thieves are nailed to the cross.
I pity the man.

I'm not justifying thievery but corrupt politicians deserve this not a man that trying to feed his infant child.

Where tf is our humanity?


But that guy sef get werey o; formula of 45K naim en wan give en pikin?

Nigeria needs to take a cue from the Dutch. As long as people are hopeless and frustrated because of poverty, crime will prevail in our society.

Anyway no one cares about the poor until they become the next victim.

So how's the baby right now? Hope it's being fed?

chai

that is what our govt have turn our life to for lack of job.

Between Monday and Thursday he has already been charged to court and granted bail which he is yet to perfect. So our judicial sysyem is this swift!
