A 23-year-old boy Mathew Adeleke has been sentenced to three months imprisonment by an Iyaganku Magistrate Court sitting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, for stealing a 32-inch plasma television.
Adeleke who was charged on a three-count-charge was arraigned in Court 12, presided over by Chief Magistrate O. O. Olatunji.
Adeleke, who pleaded guilty to two of the three charges, begged the court to have mercy on him, saying hunger made him commit the crime.
The prosecutor, Sergeant S. Hammed, has earlier told the court that the accused committed the crime on October 2.
Hammed, further explained that the offence contradicts Section 383 and punishable under Section 413 of the Criminal Code, Cap 38, Volume II, Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria.
