A man identified as Mubarak Abdullahi has been sentenced to jail for stealing chicken.

The 29-year-old ex-convict was sentenced by a Karmo Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, to five months in prison.

Abdullahi, who resides at Angwan Hausawa Karmo, had pleaded guilty to the three counts of being in possession of a chicken suspected to be stolen, idleness and constituting nuisance.

The convict pleaded with the court saying, “Please sir, temper justice with mercy, times are hard, and no work in the country.”

Earlier, the Police Prosecutor, Ijeoma Ukagha, told the court that one Mohammed Ismailia, a team of vigilance group at Idu Gbagji, arrested and took him to the Karmo Police Station on Monday.

The prosecutor said that the convict has been prosecuted before for stealing a turkey.

During police investigation, he said that the convict confessed to the crime and all efforts made by the police to take them where he stole the chicken from proved abortive.

Ukagha said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 319, 406 and 199 of the Penal Code.

I think our justice system needs little tweak.... A month is OK for chicken

The convict pleaded with the court saying, “Please sir, temper justice with mercy, times are hard, and no work in the country.”

Very lame excuse for being a thief. A bird thief for that matter.



Or is this a case of "village people" ?

The guy is suffering from bird-flu.

He has a thing for birds.

Is he going forward or backwards, from Turkey to Chicken.......

His main crime is that he is not a politician. If he is a politician, the owner of the chicken will go to jail. If he is a politician and he steals 1 billion Naira, he will be celebrated. Infact his arrest will be seen as a witch hunt

.
.he must be a poultry specialist

....lol.... He has d spirit of birds....

this is a retrospective stealing lol

Oshee ornithologist. Abi avian baba.

he is destined to be chickenised by getting chickenified


his village people no try at all o...see as dey tiehis destiny to chicken

You heard it here first ..

Keep your goats safe

If you have stole chicken as a student before, raise your hand

t

Call him poultry

Maybe next time he comes out of jail, he will steal guinea fowl

this was how buhari,IBB, Abacha & co started started.

He needs to go patent the name "Birdman" because he owns and lives it with verifiable evidence.

Any other Birdman is an impostor and a counterfeit.

Harsh justice for the poor,,,,,,the guy even tried to downgrade the class of the bird from Turkey down to chicken,,yet he still ended up in jail

U know say Turkey n chicken taste resemble
