An Ile-Ife Magistrates’ Court in Osun on Wednesday, sentenced an artisan, Akinyemi Toyin, 30, to 18 months imprisonment for stealing an industrial machine worth N105,000.

He added that the defendant stole a Hisense plasma TV, industrial machine, a wristwatch N70,000 and a jewellery box.
Other stolen items, he said, are a perfume, a pair of sandals, and a power bank.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of sections 383, 390 (9), 411 and 412 of the Criminal Code Laws of Osun, 2002.
