OSUN–An Osogbo Chief Magistrates’ Court presided over by Mrs. Adenike Olowolagba on Wednesday sentenced a female ex-convict, Nofisat Raji, to six months imprisonment for stealing a Techno mobile phone and a laptop computer.

Raji, who is 35 years old was arraigned by the police on four counts including stealing.

The prosecutor, Joshua Oladoye, told the court that Raji committed the offence on August 30, 2017, at about 12.30pm at Fayemi Street, Osogbo.

The prosecutor told the court  that the offence committed contravened Section  412, Section  390(9) and Section  383 and punishable under Section  390(9)of the Criminal Code  Cap  34 Volume  II, Laws of Osun State, 2003.

 The charge sheet read, ” The convict entered the  house of one Akindele Deborah Oluwakemi and stole one Techno Y6 mobile phone valued N14,500.

“Nafisat on the same day at about 11pm  at Akeju Street opposite Government Technical College in Osogbo, entered into the dwelling house of one  Olaboopo Mubarak and and stole one HP Pavilion laptop  valued at N45,000.”

The convict pleaded guilty to all the four count charge preferred against her by the police.
Her counsel, Okobe Najite, prayed the magistrate to temper justice with mercy in delivering her judgement.

The magistrate  sentenced Raji  to six months imprisonment and ordered that the laptop and phone recovered from her  be returned  to the complainant.

Olowolagba, however, gave the convict  an option of  fine of N3,000. She had yet to pay the fine as of the time our correspondent left the court.
