22 year old pretty Nigerian model Shonola Smith alongside her sister Alicia and 22-year-old friend Donness Bissessar are already facing the consequences emanating from the recent London riot. Shonola from South Norwood, South London, was jailed for six months after admitting trying to steal from an Argos store in Croydon. She was reportedly caught outside the store and arrested on the spot, along with her sister, and their friend. Police stormed the building in Church Street after youths smashed the shop’s front during the widespread destruction in Croydon on Monday night. The ‘remorseful’ threesome pleaded guilty to entering the store with intent to steal at Croydon magistrates’ court today. They had no previous convictions but were all handed six-month imprisonment sentences. Alicia was caught carrying ten packs of chewing gum that she had stolen from a nearby Kwik Stop convenience store on the same day. She admitted theft.The Smith sisters and Bissessar were remanded in custody when they first appeared in court on Tuesday.Their shocked families watched as they were being sentenced by District Judge Robert Hunter. Surprisingly, the 3 girls are all of previous good characters, each of them are well educated, with jobs and plans for future education.

@ TheDiva why should I be ashamed when I didn't steal anything?
You will be the one to be ashamed for commending a bad act.

Oh come on!! Seriously, she went to steal chewing gum?!! Chewing gum!! Shameless idiot. The police have arrested 100s of looters, yet there is limited space in prison. I wonder where they will keep them all.

@nametalkam: what I feel you should is think deeply, does hearing that a Nigerian was among thousands of looters gives you joy? How many Nigeria were there in over 1300 people arrested? See, we are not doing ourselves any good when think Nigerians are always bad while we Nigerians holding top positions abroad and home. We have Nigerians as Speakers of the Parliament in Dutch lands and Ireland as well as them in executive places in the US and Middle East. These people are making us proud. So if you a single person that is wrong, you should think of millions of others that are right; and you should rejoice at that.
