Abuja court jails plumber 18 months for stealing motorcycle
A plumber, Bashiru Suleiman, was given an 18-month sentence by a Zuba Upper Area Court, Abuja, on Monday for stealing a commercial motorcycle.
The police charged Mr Suleiman, 22, who resides in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, with having stolen property.
The prosecution counsel, Chinedu Ogada told the court that Emmanuel Enejo of Dawaki police patrol arrested the convict on August 4 with a stolen Bajaj motorcycle with registration number MKD 117 XH.
The prosecutor said that the convict admitted that he stole the motorcycle in front of City Rock Hotel Mararaba, Nasarawa State.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Section 319A of the Penal Code.
Mr Suleiman pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court for leniency.
The judge, Gambo Garba, gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N50,000 and warned him to desist from crimes.
