Man Breaks Into Cemetery In Lagos, Steals Iron Rods From Grave by chisomkachy(op): 8:53pm On Aug 16, 2023

An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday remanded a 28-year-old man, for allegedly breaking into a cemetery and stealing iron rods used to cover a corpse in a grave, valued at N1.1 million.

The defendant, Mubarak Kajola, whose residential address was not disclosed, was arraigned on a three-count charge bordering on illegal trespass, stealing and possession of firearms.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp. Funmi Akinleye, told the court that the defendant ”illegally, improperly and indecently” broke into the Ayobo Cemetery and interfered with dead bodies.

She said that the defendant on Aug. 11 broke the slabs used in covering dead bodies, and stole the iron rods which belonged to Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Area valued at N1.1 million.

The prosecutor told the court that the defendant was armed with a plastic mock rifle.

Akinleye said that the offences contravened sections 165(b), 280(1), 287, 312 and 312 (a)(b).

The Magistrate, Mrs Oyenike Fajana, ordered that the defendant be remanded at the the Kirikiri Correctional Center.

She adjourned the case until Aug. 17 for facts and sentencing.

Na wa. The way these guys steal anything metal, one would think they eat it. They once removed the rod that was in front of my gates. Imagine getting home and on wanting to drive in, you discover that your driveway rods have been pilfered.

They should lock the thieves in a casket for 24h.

They need to bargain with this culprit so as to get hold of his accomplice.
All the iron in both public and private environment has all been stolen.
Govt need to declare SOS on those criminals.

Na hunger...

Salary of civil servants have not changed in 12 YEARS!

Those on salary scale of level-8 twelve years ago were warning about 90-120k, WHICH WAS ABOUT $1000 then. TODAY EVEN THOUGH MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTED 3-4 TIMES, THEIR SALARIES WILL BE AROUND 180-250K, WHICH IS ABOUT $250.

FROM $1000 TO $250 IN 12 YEARS, EVEN AFTER PROMOTIONS AND USELESS SALARY INCREMENTS.
NIGERIA IS THE HEADQUARTER OF EVIL POLITICIANS AND LEADERS.
ONLY CHANGE OF CONSTITUTION, CHANGE OF SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE OR DISINTEGRATION CAN SAVE THIS COUNTRY.
