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.
