N36,000 Sends Trader To Jail
A Surulere Chief Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on Friday sentenced a 26-year-old petty trader, Aminu Muhammed, to three months’ imprisonment without an option of fine for stealing N36,000.
Chief Magistrate Abiola Soladoye convicted Muhammed after he pleaded guilty to stealing the money belonging to his fellow petty trader, Miss Marina Osundu.
Mohammed was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Soladoye on a one-count charge.
The prosecutor, Insp. Olaide Sunday, submitted that Muhammed picked the money from Osundun’s handbag as they were selling their goods at the market.
