An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court in Lagos, on Monday ordered that a 23-year-old man, Israel Adesanya, who pleaded guilty to breaking into a house and stealing biscuits, and recharge cards, be remanded in prison, pending sentencing.

Magistrate T.A. Ojo ordered that Adesanya, who resides at Baruwa Ipaja, Lagos, should be remanded in the Kirikiri Prisons, Lagos, pending review of the facts of the case and sentencing, as he pleaded guilty.

Ojo adjourned the case until Sept. 30.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Sgt. Kenrich Nomayo, told the court that Adesanya committed the offence on May 20, at No.10 Cosmos Avenue, Baruwa Ipaja, Lagos.

He said that Adesanya scaled the fence and broke into the apartment of Mrs Funmi Ajayi and stole shortbread valued at N5,250, recharge cards of different network valued at N85,000 and N108,000 cash.

Nomayo said that the defendant conduct himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 285 308 and 168 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that stealing attracts three years’ imprisonment.

Read again.

He stole items worth almost 200k.

NCAN right now!

SMH! Prison for stealing common biscuit. Isn't it obvious such person was just hungry? The bigger thieves are out there looting the country's treasury and fortunes in Billions of Dollars and walking freely... Instead, they're still getting praises from their gullible followers...

Not justifying the man stealing. But the bigger thieves should be feeling the full wrath of the law just as the poor man does... What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. There should be true Justice in the land....

Read through, he stole shortbread biscuits, recharge cards worth 85k and cash of about 105k. If it was just biscuits it could have been put down to hunger and desperation but with the other ones it's tougher even though our politicians do far worse and go scot-free.

comshots:
He is hungry.

hunger is when you go to a farm and cut one bunch of plantain but when you hire a truck to another person's farm and harvest all the plantain,that is not hunger but criminal minded. Read again and see what he stole.

Sensationalism

Ok

Ordinary biscuit? Haba...free the guy jor.

The title of the topic is quite misleading. One would thought that it was some N100 biscuits he stole.
