An Abeokuta magistrates’ court in Isabo, on Wednesday, jailed one Monday Olaitan, 19, to six months imprisonment for stealing N100, 000 from his employer.
The magistrate, Mrs Olajumoke Somefun, sentenced Olaitan, after he pleaded guilty to the theft.
Somefun, however, gave Olaitan an option to pay N100, 000 fine.
Earlier, the prosecution counsel, ASP Olakunle Shonibare, told the court that the convict committed the offence on Dec. 12, at about 4:50 pm at Elega area in Abeokuta.
Shonibare said the convict stole N100, 000 from a car belonging to Mrs Adejoke Shodipo who is his employer.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun 2006. (NAN)
