An Abeokuta, Ogun State Magistrates’ Court in Isabo on Wednesday jailed Monday Olaitan, 19, for six months for stealing N100,000 from his employer.

Somefun, however, gave Olaitan an option to pay N100,000 fine.
Earlier the Prosecution Counsel, ASP Olakunle Shonibare, told the court that the convict committed the offence on December 12 at about 4:50pm at Elega area in Abeokuta.

The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun 2006.
