HILLARIOUS: Man Steals Okada For Marriage
O boy! Marriage no be by force na....
A Minna Magistrate’s Court on Friday sentenced a 28-year-old-man, Umar Bello, to three
months imprisonment for theft and criminal breach.
The accused was arraigned in court on two counts
of theft and escaping from lawful custody
contrary to sections 287 and 173 of the penal code law.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Suleiman Mohammed, told the court that one Gambo Maliki of
Kadna Village reported the matter to the Police on July 4.
He said the accused, a resident of Kuta Road, Minna, stole Maliki’s motorcycle valued at
N110, 000 at Tunga Goro and was arrested by the Police.
Mohammed said the accused also escaped from police custody after his initial arrest before
he was re-arrested.
When the charges were read to the accused, he pleaded guilty and begged the court for
leniency.
The convict told the court that he stole the black Jincheng motorcycle to fast track his
wedding plans.
The prosecutor thereafter prayed the court to try him summarily in line with section 157 of
the Criminal Procedure Code.
In her ruling, Magistrate Hafsat Abdullahi, ordered the accused to pay a fine of N10,000
for the first charge or serve a three-month prison term in the event of a default.
Abdullahi also ordered him to pay N5,000 for the second charge or serve three months
imprisonment in the event of a default, which is to run concurrently with the first
sentence.
