Woman convicted for stealing skirts, trousers
A Kaduna Magistrates’ Court has ordered a 25-year-old woman, Naomi James, to sweep the court premises for one month for stealing six pieces of wrappers, five skirts and 10 pairs of trousers worth N82,000.
The convict pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal trespass and theft and pleaded for leniency.
Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel, who did not give the convict an option to pay any fine, warned her to desist from committing crimes.
Mr Emmanuel also ordered the police to release the recovered stolen items to the complainant.
Prosecution counsel, Chidi Leo, told the court that the complainant, Sarah Micheal, reported the matter at the Gabasawa Police Station on June 15.
The complainant had alleged that the convict entered her shop in Kawo and stole six pieces of wrappers, five skirts and 10 pairs of trousers.
During the investigation, the police officer said the convict confessed to committing the crime.
