An Abuja Grade 1 Area Court in Karu, Abuja, on Friday
sentenced one Mr. Musa Victor to three months imprisonment for stealing two
rams after he had pleaded guilty to a count charge of theft and begged for
leniency.
The Judge, Mr Hassan Ishaq, however, gave the convict an
option of N7,000 fine and ordered the convict to assist the Police to locate
the owner of the rams.
The Prosecutor, Vincent Osuji, had told the court that
Habibu Usman of Abattoir Market Association, Karu, reported the case at Karu
Police Station on Sept. 28, when the convict went to the abattoir with two
rams, looking for a buyer.
He said that when Victor was questioned how he came about
the rams he could not give any satisfactory reply, which led to the convict
being arrested and taken to the association’s office where he confessed he
stole the rams from an undisclosed location in Kuruduma, Abuja.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened Section 287 of
the Penal Code.
