A Magistrate Court sitting in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, has sentenced 21-year-old Adebanjo Segun to 6 months imprisonment for stealing a fowl.
The Public Relations Officer of Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dyke Ogbonnaya, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
Trouble was said to have begun on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, for Adebanjo aged 21 when he was arrested for stealing a hen.
Ogbonnaya explained that “After a thorough examination of the matter and completion of the investigation, it was discovered that the defendant committed the same offence sometime in December 2024 wherein he was pardoned as a supposed first offender.
“Due to the revelation of the earlier offence, he was charged to the Ago-Iwoye Magistrate Court on a lone count bordering on Section 430 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, Nigeria 2006, on February 20, 2025.
“After pleading guilty before His Worship O.F. Adeduntan (Mrs.), he was convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment by the magistrate.” (Punch)
