A magistrates’ court in Kaduna on Wednesday sentenced a 27-year-old farm manager, Israel Tony, to eight months in prison for stealing 30 crates of eggs.
Mr Tony, a resident of Barnawa, Kaduna, was charged with stealing.
In his ruling, the magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, sentenced Mr Tony to eight months’ imprisonment without an option of fine.
Mr Emmanuel also ordered him to pay N243,000 in compensation to the complainant.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Chidi Leo, told the court that the convict committed the offence sometime between February and April at Maraba Rido, Kaduna.
Mr Leo said Williams Dogo, of Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, reported the matter at Sabon Tasha Police Station on April 22.
He said the convict, hired as a manager at the complainant’s farm stole 30 crates of eggs.
He said the convict was arrested when the complainant noticed irregularities in the account book.
Mr Leo further said the convict confessed to the crime when arrested, adding that he sold the stolen eggs to Bello Aminu, who is at large.
