Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Lugbe Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Thursday sentenced a security guard, Kabiru Yunusa, to 12 months imprisonment for stealing two power generators.<\/p>\n

Yunusa, 32, who has no fixed address, had pleaded guilty to theft, and begged for leniency.<\/p>\n

The Judge, Mr Aliyu Kagarko, however, gave him an option of N50,000 fine and warned him to desist from crime.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the prosecutor, Mr Stanley Nwaforaku, told the court that the complainant, Mr Oluruwuju Toyin of Finest Event 7, Catherina Street, Zone 7, Dutse Alhaji, Abuja, apprehended the convict.<\/p>\n

Nwaforaku said the complainant apprehended and brought the convict to the Durumi Police Station on Dec. 26.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor told the court that, on December 23, the complainant contracted the convict, as a security guard, to secure decorations and generators at Area 1 Roundabout.<\/p>\n

He said the convict stole two generators valued at N670, 000 and used in powering the decorations, which he was employed to secure.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said the convict ran to an unknown destination, but the complainant later caught him and brought him.<\/p>\n

He said that during police interrogation and investigation, the convict confessed to the crime and the generators were recovered from him<\/p>\n

Nwaforaku told the court that the offence contravened Section 289 of the Penal Code.<\/p>\n
