An Ebute Meta Magistrate’s Court has in Lagos sentenced a 19-year-old man, Bimbo Ogundele, to six months imprisonment for stealing a generator, valued at N10,000.
Magistrate,H.O. Omisore, found Ogundele guilty of the two-count charge of stealing and trespassing into the premises of the Nigerian Railway Corporation terminus at Iddo, Lagos.
She said the court considered the accused’s plea for leniency as a first offender by sentencing him to only six months imprisonment.
The convict had pleaded guilty when he was arraigned on June 2.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Inspector Moses Uademevbo, had told the court that the convict was caught on May 30 by the police patrol team attached to the NRC while attempting to scale the fence of the terminus.
