Oluremi Olayinka, a former staff of popular eatery, Sweet
Sensation, was on Wednesday convicted and sentenced to 266
years imprisonment by Justice A.A Akinyemi of Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta,
for stealing N8million belonging to her employer.
The criminal offence was contrary to sections
390(6)(7)(8), 467 and 468 respectively of the Criminal Code Law Cap 29, Laws of
Ogun State.
The court found the convict, Ms Oluremi guilty on
all the 34-count charges. She was sentenced to seven years on each of 30 counts
and 14 years on the remaining four charges totalling 266 years. The sentences are to run
concurrently.
Oh my! Life imprisonment would have been more appropiate. 266years for 8million naira; isnt that a bit too much. What do you think?
