A 21-year-old man, Adebanjo Segun, has been jailed for six months by a Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, for stealing hen.
Segun was arraigned before the court by the Ogun State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, Dyke Ogbonnaya, in a statement, said the convict was sentenced on Wednesday last week after he was tried for stealing a hen.
“After thorough examination of the matter and completion of investigation, it was discovered that the defendant committed the same offence sometime in December, 2024 wherein he was pardoned as a supposed first-time offender,” Ogbonnaya said.
The statement added that due to the revelation of an earlier offence, Segun was charged to the Ago-Iwoye Magistrate’s Court on a lone count charge contrary to Section 430 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, Nigeria 2006 on February 20, 2025.
After pleading guilty before Magistrate O.F Adeduntan (Mrs.), he was convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment.
