Court Sentence 28 Year Old Man To One Month In Prison For Stealing Fried Meat

If you sang that song, "Who stole the meat from the chicken pot" when you were younger, well it's time to know that there are now consequences to that petty crime.

A 28 year old man was given jail time on Monday for stealing seven pieces of meat from a pot.
The ruling happened in an Ota Magistrates’ Court where the man was sentenced to one month in prison for breaking into a shop and stealing seven pieces of meats from a pot.

However, Miss Temitope Adebutu, the magistrate on seat gave the convict an option of N5,000 fine instead.

Proscutor, Rosemary Brown told the court that the incident happened on June 25th by about 6 a.m when the accused broke into the shop of the complainant, Akinola Olamilekan, and stole seven pieces of meat from the pot pot valued at N700.

Brown said that the offences contravened Section 390 (9) of the Criminal Code Revised Laws of Ogun, 2006.
 if you want to go to jail, at least let it be for better reason!

At first I taught the crime was one fold but on reading the story I found out the counts where two.
1. One for breaking into a shop i.e. burglary
2. Stealing.

I think the judge was lenient.
