A Shari’a Court in Rigasa, Kaduna, on Monday Sentenced 18-year-old Abubakar Salihu to nine months in prison for breaking into a house in Fatima Abubakar and Stealing a torchlight, two power banks and N18,500 money.
The Judge, Malam Dahiru Bamalli, gave the ruling after the accused pleaded guilty to the charges bordering on house breaking and theft.
NAN reports that he, however, gave the convict an option of N14,000 fine and ordered him to return the N18,500 cash he stole.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Sambo Maigari, told the court that the convict, who reside at Yan Kifi road, Rigasa, was caught stealing from Fatima’s house on Oct. 11.
“He was captured trying to escape, and we recovered the power banks and torchlight, but the cash was not recovered,” he said.
Maigari claimed that the crime contravened Sections 178 and 141 of the Shari’a Criminal Procedure Code (SCPC).
