Man sentenced for stealing pot of Ogbono soup in Lagos

A Somolu Magistrates' Court in Lagos State on Monday sentenced a 28- year-old man, Abiodun Ojedokun, to six days of community service for stealing a large pot of soup.

"The accused connived with some others, now at
large, to break into one Mrs Gbadamosi Sanni's
shop at 2:00 a.m. "They broke the locks and stole
her large pot of soup, valued at N8,000,"

Ojedokun pleaded guilty to the charges and asked for
leniency, claiming that he committed the offence
because he was starving.
