GIST :  Pastor gets jail term for stealing sheep worth N3,000

Could it be also part  and sign of the end time as fake ministers of God or Islamic clerics are now involved in crimes.

In fact, many a so-called pastor and fake Imams are presently involved in ritualism, robbery, sodomy and other despicable acts.

The latest development is the case of Pastor Oloruntoba Ibitoye, who yesterday bagged a nine-month jail for stealing a sheep valued at N3,000 in front of the owner's residence at Amoyo area of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

Ibitoye was charged before the Ilorin Magisterate's Court.

According to the prosecution, the complainant, Mrs Florence Adebiyi, reported at the police station in Ganmo, near Ilorin, that the convict stole her sheep valued at N3,000 in front of her Amoyo residence.

The prosecution said the sheep was recovered from Ibitoye by the police.

He pleaded guilty to the offence and begged for leniency.

Police prosecutor, Inspector Mojisola Olamokun, applied for summary trial, which was granted by the court.

The Magistrate, Mrs. Mariam Qudus-Salahu, sentenced him to nine months imprisonment without an option of fine.
