On monday, a 29-year-old Fatai Ganiyu was sentenced to two years imprisonment for stealing 10 bowls of uncooked rice and four bottles of alcoholic drink in Osogbo Magistrate’s Court.
Mr. Mereti Wilson the prosecutor, told the court that the 10 bowl of rice that Ganiyu stole was worth N8,000, while the bottles of drink was valued at N10,000 when the convict was first arraigned in court on October 10, 2016.
The prosecutor also added that the convict broke into the shop of one Okeola Comfort of the Oke Ayepe area, Gbongan, at exactly 2:45am and stole the said 10 bowls of uncooked rice and four bottles of alcholic drink.

He had said:
“Fatai committed an offence contrary to and punishable under sections 283 and 414 of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, vol. II, Law of Osun State, Nigeria 2002, punishable under Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, vol.II, Law of Osun State, Nigeria, 2002.”

The convict, who was represented in the court by his counsel, Mr. Seye Oluyombo, pleaded guilty to the two counts preferred against him.

The magistrate, Mrs. Adejunoke Olowolagba, said she found Ganiyu guilty on two counts of intent and stealing. She sentenced him to one year each for the two counts. The jail terms are to run cumulatively.

The floor is open to suggestions, don't you think the prosecutor probably added a little salt to the injuries of the convict in his statements. Also, was the sentence fair enough? Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks

Well... I really feel the prosecutor juiced the story a bit

And how many years imprisonment for stealing upwards of N1bn?

Steal billions of naira. Settle judges with some millions and escape justice. Steal N20k and have nothing to settle the judge with and spend a very long time in jail. That is the construct.

The other time, a judge in Ebonyi kept a woman in jail for over two(2) years for stealing N400 worth of cocoyam. Evil judges.


N/B: Not justifying stealing though.
