Chukwumerijie’s Steward Jailed For Stealing N550,000 From Late Senator by lalasticlala(mod): 3:24pm On Jun 03, 2015

A Wuse Zone 2 Senior Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday sentenced one Joseph Ochefije, late Sen. Uchekwumerijie’s steward, to one year in jail for stealing the deceased’s N550,000. Senior Magistrate Aminu Eri, who denied Ochefijie an option of fine, handed the sentence after the convict pleaded guilty to the crime against the Penal Code. According to the police prosecutor, Mr Francis Tanko, the matter was reported on May 25 by one Kelechi Chukwuemerije of Yedseram Street, Maitama, Abuja.

According to NAN, Tanko, a sergeant, said the complainant came to Maitama Police Station and reported that on the same date, Ochefije, the late senator’s steward, dishonestly stole the sum of N550,000 from his bedroom. According to the prosecutor, the convict confessed to the crime during police investigation. He said the money was later recovered from him.

Selective justice?

Matter was reported on 25th may and it has been jugded already?

He was even denied the option of fine. If it were to be N2billion a big man stole, they would adjourn the case till we forget about it and move to the next trending issue. Need prove?

Farouk lawan
Dimeji Bankole
pension fund scam etc

Whoever coined the phrase "all men are equal" definately did not include us Nigerians.

It is a grave offence for a thief to steal from a criminal..

Morale: Never steal from a criminal they will never forgive you because criminals hate competition.
