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.
