Court jails teenager 6 months for stealing clothes worth N3m
Court jails teenager 6 months for stealing clothes worth N3m on Thursday in Ibadan, Oyo State.
A Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Ibadan, on Thursday, sentenced an 18-year-old boy, Mayowa Amoo, to six months in prison for stealing several clothes worth N3 million.
The court’s president, Mrs. Sukurat Yusuf, sentenced Amoo after he pleaded guilty to the two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing.
Yusuf ordered that he should be kept in the Agodi Correctional facility in Ibadan.
She, however, gave the convict the option of paying a N30,000 fine and N1 million restitutions to the complainant.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Philip Amusan, had told the court that Amoo committed the offences with some others still at large on April 3 at Ogunpa Market in Ibadan.
Amusan said the convict who worked at the market stole a bag containing different types of clothes belonging to Mr Colombia Umegboro.
He said Amoo was caught and then handed over to the police.
Amusan said the offences contravened Sections 516 and 390(9) of the Criminal Law of Oyo State, 2000.
