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.
