Man jailed for stealing beans

A Grade ‘A’ Customary Court sitting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, has sentenced a 20-year-old man, Samuel John, to six months imprisonment for stealing beans worth N20,000.

The Court’s President, Sukurat Yusuf, sentenced John after he pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of housebreaking and stealing on Friday, September 13, 2024.

The Prosecutor, Philip Amusan, told the court that John committed the offences at about 6 p.m. in the Omi-Adio area of Ibadan on September 2.

Amusan said the convict broke into the house of one Felicia Oni and stole the beans without her consent.

Yusuf, thereafter, sentenced John to six months imprisonment without an option of fine and held that the convict should be kept in the Agodi Correctional Centre in Ibadan.
