Ogun man gets 11 months’ imprisonment for stealing laptop, other valuables
An Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun has sentenced Sunday Ifaniyi to 11 months’ imprisonment for burglary and theft of a laptop, jewellery and other valuable items.
Magistrate A.O. Adeyemi, however, gave Mr Ifaniyi an option to pay N10,000 fine.
The police had charged the convict and others at large with conspiracy, burglary and stealing.
Police prosecutor, Inspector E.O. Adaraloye, told the court that the convict and others still at large, committed the offences on November 20.
Mr Adaraloye said the convict and his accomplices broke into the house of the complainant, Funmilayo Benson, at dawn in Iyana-Iyesi, Ota, Ogun State.
They stole jewellery, laptop, wrist watch and other items, the value of which is yet to be ascertained, the court heard.
Luck, however, ran out on the convict, who was caught by members of a vigilante group, and handed over to the police.
The prosecutor said that the offences contravened Sections 411,451 and 516 of the Criminal Code, Vol.1, Laws of Ogun.
