A 32-year-old cripple, Mustapha Umar, was yesterday arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate's court, for allegedly stealing N42,000 belonging to one Margaret Nwachukwu.
.
The cripple, who is said to be a beggar and sleeps at Conoil Filling station by the Ikeja general Hospital is facing a one-count charge of stealing preferred against him by the police. He was docked before Magistrate Abimbola Oshodi- Makanju.
.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Samson Ekikere, told the court that the defendant allegedly committed the crime on July, 27, 2013, at about 10pm, at the Conoil Filling station.
.
Ekikere said the stolen money belonged to one Margaret Nwachuckwu, a trader, who also sleeps at the filling station.
No matter the condition u're in if u go against the law....U'll definately get punished for it. Theft is a huge crime in Nigeria that should not be condoned.
