Nigeria Court jails 21-year-old for stealing fowl

Nigeria Court jails 21-year-old for stealing fowl

A Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, has sentenced a 21-year-old man, Adebanjo Segun, to six months imprisonment for stealing a fowl.

The Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ogbonnaya Dyke, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the statement, Segun’s troubles began on February 19, 2025, when he was arrested for stealing a hen.

Ogbonnaya noted that investigations revealed the convict had committed a similar offence in December 2024 but was pardoned as a supposed first-time offender.

The statement read: “Following the discovery of his previous offence, he was arraigned before the Ago-Iwoye Magistrate’s Court on February 20, 2025, on a lone charge under Section 430 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2006.

“After pleading guilty before His Worship O.F. Adeduntan (Mrs.), he was convicted and sentenced to six months’ imprisonment.”

In a related development, the court also sentenced a 20-year-old, Kazeem Tobi, to six months’ imprisonment for stealing an Elepaq generator valued at about ₦120,000.

 

Tobi was arrested by an NSCDC patrol team at Idode One Way in Ago-Iwoye while attempting to sell the stolen generator to a scavenger.

According to Ogbonnaya, the suspect was re-arrested on February 4, 2025, and after investigations, was charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and possession of stolen property.

He stated: “The defendant pleaded guilty before His Worship O.F. Adeduntan (Mrs.) and was remanded at the Nigerian Correctional Centre, Ijebu-Ode, while the case was adjourned to February 10, 2025, for trial and sentencing.

“Upon presentation of the facts, the court found the defendant guilty under Section 430 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2006, and sentenced him accordingly to six months’ imprisonment.”
