A Magistrate Court sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Friday, convicted a 33-year-old man, Seun Sowemimo, and slammed12 months jail term on him without an option of fine.
Sowemimo was found guilty of attempting to steal from former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
The convict pleaded guilty to the two counts of theft and causing breach of peace.
The Magistrate, Mrs. Olajumoke Somefun, held that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the convict was guilty as charged.
Prosecuting ASP Olakunle Shonibare had earlier told the court that Sowemimo scaled the fence into Obasanjo’s compound in Abeokuta on April 1 with the intent to steal.
He explained, that, immediately he jumped in, he was caught by one of the security guards on duty.
He said that the offence contravened the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun, 2006.
