A Magistrate’s Court in Jos, on Monday, sentenced a 26-year-old labourer, Abraham John, to 18 months in prison for stealing three bags of cement.
The Magistrate, Irene Pati, summarily tried and sentenced the convict, who pleaded guilty to the charge.
Pati, in her judgment, however, gave the convict an option of a fine of N20,000 or six months for trespass.
The convict is also to spend one year in prison for theft or pay a fine of N30,000.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp Ijuptil Thiawur, told the court that the case was reported at the Gada Biu Police Station on Sept. 2 by one Samuel Danchung, the complainant.
Thiawur said that the convict trespassed and stole the cement where they were kept at the complainant’s house before he was caught.
He said that during the police investigation, the three bags of cement were recovered from the convicts.
He added that the offence contravened the Plateau Penal Code Law.
