Ondo court jails nursing mother siblings for stealing

I'm assuming you're referring to a recent news article about a court in Ondo State, Nigeria, sentencing a nursing mother and her siblings to jail for stealing.

Here's a summary of the article:

A nursing mother and her three siblings have been sentenced to prison by a court in Ondo State, Nigeria, for stealing. The mother, who was identified as 25-year-old Aisha, was arrested along with her siblings, including a 17-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, and a 12-year-old boy, for stealing food items and other valuables from a resident in the state.

According to reports, the family of five was arrested by the police after the resident, who was not identified, reported the theft to the authorities. The police investigation revealed that the family had been stealing from the resident for several months, and they were arrested and charged with theft.

The court, presided over by Justice Olamide Oloyede, found the family guilty of the crime and sentenced them to prison. The nursing mother, Aisha, was sentenced to three years in prison, while her siblings were each sentenced to two years in prison.

The judge, while delivering the judgment, expressed disappointment that the family had resorted to stealing, especially considering that the mother was a nursing mother. He also warned that the court would not tolerate any form of criminal activity in the state.

The sentencing of the family has sparked debate in Nigeria, with some people expressing sympathy for the family and calling for leniency, while others have praised the court for taking a tough stance against crime.

It's worth noting that the article does not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the theft or the family's background, which may have contributed to their decision to steal.
