Woman jailed six months for stealing goat ‘to settle son’s medical bill’

Mrs Jimoh was sentenced to six months imprisonment after she was found guilty of stealing a she-goat, valued at N45,000.The prosecutor, Fagboyinbo Abiodun, in court, said the goat belongs to Fausat Adegboga, who also resides in Osogbo.While reacting, Abimbola Ige, the counsel who represented the accused, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy.

He told the court that the accused person committed the offence ”in order to raise money to pay the hospital bill of her son diagnosed with Hernia.” In his judgement, the judge, Opeyemi Badmus, sentenced the accused person to six-month imprisonment at the Ilesa correctional centre without an option of fine.

She's been lifted out of poverty

Allah yasaka mata Allah will punish the judge

Hmmmmm, wetin I de hear,d judge no try oo

This is nigeria where who stole $2b is still awaiting trial 4 more dan 4years now.

The problem is not the judge as s/he must judge based on the case before her/him. The problem is the Prosecutor who has the discretion whether to charge her or not but still chose to charge her notwithstanding the circumstances for the act complained of. It's sad.

That's unfair

Please identify the woman, I'll give her 3 goats or cash equivalent

God punish the judge Sometimes humanity first... What of those who steal billions?

And some steal billions nothing like jail for them o
