Ibadan man sentenced to one year in prison for stealing beans
A Grade ‘A’ customary court in Ibadan on Friday sentenced a 20-year-old man, Samuel John, to six months in prison for stealing beans worth N20,000.
The court’s president, Sukurat Yusuf, sentenced Mr John after he pleaded guilty to two-count charges of housebreaking and stealing.
Ms Yusuf sentenced Mr John without an option of fine and held that the convict should be kept in the Agodi Correctional facility in Ibadan.
The prosecutor, Philip Amusan, had told the court that Mr John committed the offences on September 2 at about 6:00 p.m., in the Omi-Adio area, Ibadan.
Mr Amusan said the convict broke into the house of Felicia Oni and stole the beans.
He said the offences contravened sections 411 and 390(9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
