28-year-old Augustine Victor and 20-year-old Richard Ejiofor have been jailed by a Lagos Magistrate’s court in Lagos State for stealing the Holy Bible.

Yesterday, after a summary trial, Mrs. J.O.E Adeyemi, the presiding Magistrate, sentenced them to 60 days imprisonment without an option of fine.

They were given their sentence after they changed their plea from not guilty to guilty before the court.

It was learnt that the theft happened at Igbo-Elerin junction along Badagary Express Road in Ojo local government where the owner was returning from fellowship.

The suspects were charged before the court with conspiracy and stealing under the criminal code.

According to The News, the convicts allegedly attacked a man named Mike John, the owner of the Holy Bible, and stole the black bag containing the Bible, thinking that the bag contained huge sums of money. They also took away the victim’s BlackBerry hand set and wrist watch.

Unfortunately for them the police officers on patrol arrested the men and took them to the Okokomaiko station where they were detained, with the items also recovered from them as exhibits.

The prosecutor, Ishaku Babaji, in his report, informed the court how the suspects were arrested and urged the court to sentence them accordingly to serve as deterrent to others who might want to commit similar offence.

The court found them guilty as charged and sentenced them accordingly.
