Court discharges two for stealing 150 liters of red oil in Benin
An Oredo magistrates’ court in Benin City on Thursday, discharged two men, Isah Abubakar,29 and Aruna Hassan, 20, who were charged with stealing 150 liters of red oil from an old woman.The magistrate discharged the defendants following an application by the police prosecutor, ASP, Violent Soyemi, who told the court to dismiss the case because the complainant, Mrs Esther Ojo wanted to withdraw her case.
“They do not have money to pay me for the oil they stole and I can’t watch them suffering in the correctional centre. So as a mother I have forgiven them.’ Satiyanu, however, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve jail terms, but Isah and Hassan pleaded not guilty but could not perfect the bail conditions and were remanded in Oko correctional centre.
