One Olasunkanmi Yekini, was on Thursday, arraigned before an Osun State Magistrates’ Court sitting in Osogbo for the alleged theft of three pants belonging to a lady.

The accused was said to have stolen the pants and a Tecno phone valued at N5,050, an offence the prosecutor said was contrary to and punishable under the Laws of Osun State of Nigeria, 2003.

Jafani said police operatives in a patrol van rescued the accused as a mob had descended on him.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the two counts of on theft and breach of peace.

Olasunkanmi pleaded for mercy, saying his mother was dead and that his herbalist father would not come to his rescue.
