Osogbo, Nigeria — Just eight days after receiving a state pardon from Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, a middle-aged man, Sunday Omisakin, has been rearrested and remanded at the Ilesa Correctional Centre for alleged burglary and theft.
Omisakin, who was among the convicts pardoned on December 24, 2024, allegedly returned to criminal activities on January 3, 2025. He is accused of breaking into a house in the Iludun area of Osogbo and stealing a plasma television set valued at ₦600,000.
Details of the Allegation
A charge sheet obtained on Tuesday outlined the accusations against Omisakin.
Count 1 stated: “That you, Adebayo Omisakin Sunday ‘m’ on the 3rd day of January 2025 at about 12:00 pm at the Al-medinat Area, Iludun in the Osogbo Magisterial District, did break and enter the house of one Shittu Damilare ‘m’ and steal one Plasma TV valued at the sum of Six Hundred Thousand Naira (₦600,000).”
Count 2 further alleged: “That you, Adebayo Omisakin Sunday ‘m’ on the same date, time, and place in the aforementioned Magisterial District did steal one Plasma TV valued at Six Hundred Thousand Naira (₦600,000), property of one Shittu Damilare ‘m’.”
The charges, according to the sheet, violate Sections 411 (1) (2), 383, and 390 (9) of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. II, Laws of Osun State of Nigeria, 2002.
Omisakin was first arraigned on January 7, 2025, before a Chief Magistrates’ Court in Osogbo, where he sought bail. However, Magistrate A. Adeyeba adjourned the case to January 10 for a ruling on the bail application.
At the adjourned hearing, the Chief Magistrate denied bail and ordered Omisakin’s remand at the Ilesa Correctional Centre pending further legal proceedings.
