Farmer sentenced to jail for stealing pot
An area court in Jos on Wednesday sentenced a 35-year-old farmer, Victor Ibrahim, to 30 days’ imprisonment for stealing a 50-litre three-legged aluminium pot.
A panel of judges made up of Sadqi Adam and Hyacenth Dolnanan sentenced Mr Ibrahim after he pleaded guilty to theft.
He begged the court for leniency. The judges gave the convict an option of a N10,000 fine.
Prosecution counsel Ibrahim Gowkat told the court that Dong Bok reported the case at the Rantya Police Station Jos on September 17 that the convict stole the pot.
The police prosecutor further told the court that during the police investigation, Mr Ibrahim pleaded guilty to the crime.
