Magistrate A .O. Adeyemi of the Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun has sentenced a 21-year-old driver, Kenneth Divine, to one-month imprisonment for stealing 14 cartons of Indomie noodles worth N48,300.
Divine was charged with two counts of conspiracy and theft alongside another suspect, 24-year-old Joel Olawale.
Adaraloye alleged that they stole 14 cartons of 70g of Indomie noodles worth N48,3000 belonging to Balogun Ayokunle.
When the charges were read, Divine pleaded guilty while the second defendant pleaded otherwise.
Magistrate Adeyemi therefore sentenced the convict to one-month imprisonment with an option of N10,000 fine, while he also directed him to give N48,300 to the complainant.
However, the second defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges and was admitted to N50,000 bail with one surety.
The magistrate adjourned the case until May 13 for further hearing.
