An Abeokuta Magistrates\u2019 Court on Thursday sentenced a 38-year-old herdsman, Abdulahi Adamu, to seven years imprisonment for fraud and stealing cows worth over N43 million.<\/p>\n

Adamu, whose address was not given, was convicted on a three-count charge of conspiracy, fraud and stealing.<\/p>\n

Delivering her judgment, Magistrate Olajumoke Somefun, held that all the evidences presented by the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that the convict is guilty as charged.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Somefun noted that having found that the defendant is guilty as charged, she, however, sentenced him to seven years imprison with an option N250,000 fine.<\/p>\n

She added that the option of fine shall be activated upon the restitution of all the 259 cows that was stolen by the convict.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the prosecutor, ASP Olakunle Shonibare, had told the court that the convict committed the offence on Sept. 12, at Alamutu Village via Rounder, in Abeokuta.<\/p>\n

Shonibare said that the convict conspired with one other person, now at large, and stole 259 cows belonging to seven persons.<\/p>\n

He said the convict is a herdsman and cattle were given to him to rear for people.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said Adamu fraudulently accepted to help them rear the cows and converted them to his own use with the intent to permanently deprive the owners of their cows.<\/p>\n

According to him, the convict stole 185 cows, valued N36.5 million being property of one Mr Ojodu Olayiwola, 34 live cows, valued at N3.4 million belonging to Mr Abayomi Somuyiwa.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nAlso, the convict carted 15 cows worth N1.5 million, property of Mrs Funmilayo Ogunlana, and 12 cows valued N 1.2 million, property of Mr Jimoh Salaudeen.<\/p>\n

He also stole five cows, worth N500,000, belonging to Mr Adekunle Adedolapo, six cows, valued N600,000 belonging to Mr Kabiru Bankola, and two cows, worth N200,000, property of Mr Abeebi Adeyemi.<\/p>\n

Shonibare noted that the total worth of all the cows stolen by the convict is N43.9 million.<\/p>\n

According to the prosecutor, the offences committed contravened Section 516, 383 and 390(3)(6)(a) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun, 2006.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
