Man, 28, Sentenced To 6 Days Community Service For Stealing Pot Of Soup - by DanielTos(m): 5:26pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
A Somolu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos State on Monday sentenced a 28- year-old man, Abiodun Ojedokun, to six days of community service for stealing a large pot of soup. The Magistrate, Mrs Bola Osunsanmi, sentenced the convict to 48 hours of community service for each of the three-count charge, after he had pleaded guilty to them. “Based on the facts of this case before this court, the confirmed report and your plea of leniency, I hereby sentence you to 48 hours community service on each of the counts of the charge,” Osunsanmi said. The convict, arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy, burglary and stealing, pleaded guilty to all the charges preferred against him. The prosecutor, ASP Akinlabi Adegoke, told the court that the convict, who was a casual worker and whose address was unknown, committed the offences on Sept. 20 at 2:00 a.m. at the Onipanu Model Market in Somolu, Lagos State. “The accused connived with some others, now at large, to break into one Mrs Gbadamosi Sanni’s shop at 2:00 a.m. “They broke the locks and stole her large pot of soup, valued at N8,000,” Adegoke said. The prosecutor told the court that the offences contravened Sections 285, 308 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011. Ojedokun pleaded guilty to the charges and asked for leniency, claiming that he committed the offence because he was starving.

This is the type of judgement we are clamouring for. Steal one morsel of food, get community service but if the hunger was a threat to his life then he should be set free while the government bears the responsibility for the cost of the food. People are hungry and cash flow management is nothing to commend. 2 Likes |

It's a good thing the authorities got to him before the zombie mob, that would delight in taking his life over a pot of soup. |

Lolzzzz. One of the best news today. Kudos to the magistrate for being humane enough unlike some that may end this man's life with lengthy jail term. May God bless Nigeria. |
