26-year-old man bags six months imprisonment for stealing motorcycle...................

An Ogudu magistrates’ court in Lagos State has sentenced one Animashaun Wasiu to six months imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to stealing a Bajaj motorcycle.


The convict, who lives at Adegboyega Street in Mushin, Lagos, said he saw the motorcycle parked in front of a house in Ifako area and was pushing it when he was arrested.

The magistrate, Mrs O. S. Amzat, in sentencing the convict, urged him to turn a new leaf.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Sergeant Ihiehie Lucky, had told the court that a patrol team from the Ifako Police Division led by  Sergeant Ajanu Folugbade, caught the convict on June 4.

He said the team intercepted him with a Bajaj motorcycle with registration number SMK 960 QA, valued at N120, 000 and belonging to one Oyetunji Ezekiel.

“When he was interrogated, he could not give account of the owner and in his statement to the police, confessed to have stolen it,” the prosecutor said
