Employees of FoodCo, Ring Road branch, Ebenezer Olusesi, 31, and Ibrahim Adeniyi,41, were on Monday docked in an Iyaganku Chief Magistrate’s Court for allegedly stealing two loaves of bread worth N2,600 from their employer.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olusesi, a baker and Adeniyi, a security guard, pleaded not guilty to theft.


The Prosecution Counsel, Cpl. David Adepoju told the court that the defendants allegedly conspired together to commit the offence.


Adepoju said the defendants on April 28 allegedly stole two loaves of bread worth N2,600, property of FoodCo Company, Ring Road, Ibadan, represented by Friday Achibong.


He said the offence contravened sections 390 (a) and 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.


The Chief Magistrate, Olabisi Ogunkanmi, admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N50,000 each with two sureties each in like.


Ogunkanmi said one of the sureties must be a relation while the second sureties must present tax evidence for two years.

She adjourned the matter until August 15 for a hearing.

Nawa o

Nawa o

You use 2,600 collect 50,000

Is this a news?There is hunger in the land

It's obvious they stole due to hunger.
The company is mad for dragging them to court while the judge is crazy for passing such a sentence
Meanwhile politicians that stole billions are walking free

This is really unbelievable from Foodco?!
Highest; you could have fired them but charging them to court just because of 2loaves of bread?!

It's actually bad publicity for whatever company that is to throw people in jail over $2.
Simply fire them if they can no longer be trusted.

Nigerians can teach FoodCo a lesson by simply boycotting them....if y'all care that is.

Even at that, you could have relieved them of their job. Please, check the market price of garri, beans, rice not to talk of meat. Sincerely, there is hunger in the land

HABA! FOODCo, remove the charge on them ASAP! Don't press charges anymore!

HEARTLESS!!! COULDN'T YOU HAVE REMOVED THE AMOUNT (or double the amount) FROM THEIR SALARIES AND GIVEN THEM QUERIES. Even if they have eaten the bread, the evidence,,,,,,,,,??
This is crazy coming from foodCo o!
