Man Sentenced To 18 Months In Prison For Stealing Peppersoup And Palm Wine

An Akure Chief Magistrates’ Court on Monday
sentenced a 31-year-old man, Ayodele Joseph, to 18
months imprisonment for house breaking and stealing
pepper soup meat and palm wine worth N2,600.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Olayinka Omole, however
gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N15,000 on
the two count charges.
Omole sentenced the convict to six months
imprisonment or N5,000 fine for stealing and one year
imprisonment or option of N10,000 for housebreaking.
The Prosecutor, Corporal Adebiyi Abiodun, had told the
court that the convict broke into the house of Kemisola
Ibitoye and stole pepper soup meat valued at N1,900.
Abiodun said other items stolen by the convict were
palm wine valued at N700 and some black wood hot
drink and Regal gin valued at N2,000.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Sections
413(1) and 390(9) of the Criminal Code Cap 37 Vol. 1
Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.
Joseph pleaded guilty and begged for mercy, saying, “I
do not have parents, I will not indulge in such act
again”.
But being an orphan is not an excuse for theft, is it?

Wizkid And Linda Ikeji At It Again

Wizkid and Linda Ikeji are at it again as Linda Ikeji is
said to have thrown a sub at him on her blog.
Monday February 22, Nigerian pop star Wizkid,

25,
called popular Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji, 35, “lonely
and bitter” on his SnapChat account.
Wizkid shared an old picture of Linda Ikeji

 during her
modelling days and captioned the picture “Almost 40,
lonely and bitter! Prayers up for you!”
Wizkid was most likely responding to Linda Ikeji’s sub
yesterday. Linda Ikeji posted an article of American
rapper The Game slamming an Internet troll for calling
him a dead beat dad. In her post Linda Ikeji wrote
“unlike a dead beat father who hasn’t started to cater
for his child.”
Many people believe that line was directed at Wizkid. In
January Linda Ikeji
broke the news that Wizkid had
allegedly fathered a child with a woman known as Binta
Diamond Diallo. A few days after the story Binta
Diamond Diallo spoke to The Shade Room and said
Wizkid is a ‘dead beat’ dad.
On Sunday, February 21, 2016 Wizkid
retweeted an
article titled “Linda Ikeji is suffering from poverty
mentality” on Twitter and said “nice read.”
Wizkid captioned this read as too deep with the emojis,
‘A major symptom of poverty mentality is money and
material fixation. Sometimes, no matter how far away
from poverty one runs, some people still need an open
brain surgery to expunge the poverty mentality.’
