WHAT?! There Is A Court Sentence For Stealing Fried Meat, See How Long


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.
I always say, if you want to go to jail, at least let it be for better reason!
