A man, who apparently
has no job to enable him
feed himself, has been
sentenced to spend one
year in prison after he
was found guilty of
stealing from the
Mountain of Fire and
Miracles church.
Police
prosecutor, Sergeant
Simon Ibrahim told the
court that the convict was
a habitual offender and
had stolen from the
same church in 2012.
Sergeant Ibrahim said:
“He stole from the
same church last
year. He was
charged before a
different court and
was sentenced to
one year
imprisonment. In
fact, he was just
released from prison
just last week. I
don’t think he is
ready to change.”
36yrs old Ademola Ayeni
was sentenced on
Monday after he was
convicted on charges of
theft for making away with
the offerings of the church
members. He had been
previously convicted of
the same offence after he
stole from the same
church last year.
Magistrate Khadijat
Mustapha convicted Ayeni
for the offence without an
option of fine, saying the
sentence is meant to
serve as a deterrent to
those who might want to
engage in similar acts.
Earlier, the Prosecutor,
Sergeat Simon Ibrahim,
told the court that
(Pastor) Ojo Oyeyemi of
Mountain of Fire and
Miracles Church, Utako,
reported the matter at the
Utako Police Station on
November 15.
Ibrahim said the convict
criminally trespassed into
the church just after they
had concluded church
service and stole an
offering bag containing
N50,800. He also stole
two cheques worth
N150,000 and N50,000
