A 23-year old man, Olamilekan Folaweowo, has been arrested and charged to Court for stealing fried meat in a popular hotel, Aso Rock Hotel, Ikotun area of Lagos.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the suspect, Folaweowo, was employed as the staff of the hotel located at Abaranje Road, Ikotun area of Lagos.

He was alleged to have gone to a deep freezer in the hotel’s kitchen area, picked some pieces of already fried and ate saying he wanted to taste if they were fried properly or not.

While doing so, the owner of the hotel saw him and asked why he was eating the meat meant for customers. He replied that he only tasted to ascertain if they were fried properly.

He was apprehended and immediately handed over to the Police at Ikotun Division for stealing the meat meant for the hotel customers.
It was gathered that the management gave the estimate of the meat that got missing in the hotel since it was opened several years ago and told the Police that he ate fried meat worth N5,000 belonging to the hotel.

It was gathered that both the Police and the family of the suspect pleaded with the owner of the hotel for forgiveness but he refused insisting that the law must take its course to serve as deterrent to other workers in the hotel.

Thereafter, he was charged before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for stealing and he pleaded guilty while explaining what happened to the Court.

The prosecutor, Supol Kenneth Asibor, then asked the Court to sentence accordingly since he did not waste the time of the Court by pleading guilty to the charge.

Consequently, the Presiding Magistrate, Mr. T.O. Shomade, found him guilty as charged and sentenced him to community service by sweeping the Court premises.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the decision to arrest and jail Folaweowo has put fear in the other workers, who believe similar fate awaits them any time they indulge in such.

longer throat plus oju kokoro..... how much is full chicken out there?

as for the owner, arranging someone because of chicken lap?...... hilarious!!

In as much this is Nigeria I won't say a word

.

Hunger bad !

I'm sure the cost of the pieces of meat he ate is not up to monthly salary, the owner should have deducted it from his salary with a serious warning/query instead of taking him to court.

After taking a piece of meat,he has no peace of mind, gosh

It's temptation

This aso rock hotel na ashawo joint na.. it's more like a brothel not hotel.

this meat wahala, my people too like meat. Especially deep fried pepperd meat.

Very heartless hotel owner.

Lol.... My "heart was in my hands" as I was approaching where he was sentenced. I was afraid that I could see sentenced to 5 years in prison. Kudos to the magistrate for the sentence , it's a fair one

Inside life..

What a funny story!!!

Pm and lies. Always ejigbo ikotun abaranje axis

Call me wicked but I’m in total support of what the boss did... like play like play these so called workers start cheating you, stealing from business proceeds and they tell themselves that las las e no go pass sack...

It may seem like the boss went too far but no other staff would dare steal from that business take it or leave it!!!

There's a certain level of wickedness attached to the name 'Aso Rock'

Aso rock thief caught with a suspected meat.
I think the police has a better name for that., A fried meat suspect.,
and the court will ask him, are you guilty? He say no, then they will give him bail., expensive reality show.

When will they sentence politicians that loot money with bullion vans...

Buhari is fighting corruption indeed

The owner of that hotel won't use that same energy to protest against people stealing and embezzling at the real aso rock

A very silly boss. There are different reasonable measures he should have applied.
The judge even had patience to hear the case.

Funny

the owner took it too far but Court go laugh and Tamper justice it with mercy and made him sweep. Perfect judgement but if we let this happened always, ordinary break bottle on floor self before fight go land many on 6 months in prison

DA HOTEL OWNER HATE THAT STAFF SO MUCH

MEAT STEALING IS NOT THE MAIN REASON BIKO
