Man Bags 15 Months Jail For Stealing Fan, Mat From Mosque
One Nasir Idris was sentenced on Thursday to 15 months of imprisonment for stealing a fan and praying mat from a mosque.
He was sentenced by a Dei-Dei Grade I Area Court, Abuja.
The court, however, gave Idris the option to pay a N50,000 fine.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Mr. Chinedu Ogada, told the court that one Ali Zuma arrested Idris on March 17 and took him to the police at Zuba, also in the FCT.
Ogada said Idris trespassed on the mosque at Dei-Dei and stole the fan and mat, but was caught in the act.
According to him, Idris admitted to the crime during an investigation and confessed to having been in prison twice also for theft.
The prosecutor said the offence committed by Idris at Dei-Dei contravened the Penal Code of the FCT.
Idris pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court for leniency.
The presiding judge, Mr. Saminu Suleiman while giving the judgment, warned Idris to desist from committing crimes and to be of good behaviour.
