He stole gold worth 25000 and was handed years imprisonment. What about the man who stole 25b and was given a mere. 2yrs jail term and fine to pay.after killing a lot with that action . Abeg, the laws in nigeria constitution are ment for. The poor and not the rich. We should review the constitution jare!
A young man, one Emmanuel Michael was Tuesday, sentenced to five years imprisonment with hard labour by a Chief Magistrate Court in Asaba, Delta State, for stealing gold earrings worth N25,000.
Presiding Chief Magistrate, Sylvester Ehikwe, in sentencing him stated that “he does not deserve mercy as burglary is next to armed robbery.”
Upon arraignment, the convict immediately pleaded guilty to the two-count charge preferred against him and began to weep in the dock, saying “I was hungry.”
The prosecution stated that the accused “on the February 1, 2013 at back of NTA Asaba in the Asaba Magisterial District did break into the house of one Okechukwu Uheghbu and stole a pair of gold earrings and its pendant valued at N25,000, property of Mr. and Mrs. Okechukwu Uheghbu and thereby committed
an offence punishable under section 411(1) of the Criminal Code Cap C21 Vol. 1 Law of Delta State of Nigeria, 2006.”
See d speed with which this case was judged. Five years for 25k n 2years for 23billion? Same constitution? So true that those with the capital don't get d punishment n those with d punishment don't have d capital=capital punishment.
Na wa for this country...
