An Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan on Wednesday sentenced one Adebisi Ayobami to a one-month community service for stealing a crate of eggs.
The 25-year-old Ayobami, who was of no fixed address and docked on a one-count charge, however pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Mrs Olasinmibo Sanusi-Zubair, ruled that he should go on a one-month community service and be released upon completion of the service thereafter.
Sanusi-Zubair noted that the convict was a first-time offender and the crate of eggs he stole had been recovered and given to the complainant, Mr Bayo Adewale.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Oladejo Balogun, had told the court that Ayobami committed the offence on Thursday at about 1 p.m. at Moniya area of Ibadan.
He said Ayobami took the eggs without the complainant’s consent and committed an offence consequently, contrary to Section 390(9) of the Criminal Laws of Oyo State, 2000.(NAN)
