18-year-old Abdulkudus Shuibu has been sentenced to three-month imprisonment by a Karu Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Monday for buying a stolen Nokia cell phone.
The convict, who pleaded guilty to a count of dishonestly receiving and purchasing stolen property and begged for leniency, was said to have received and purchased a stolen Nokia cell phone at the rate of N2,500.
The judge, Sani Mohammed, sentenced him to three-month imprisonment, though he also gave him a N4,000 option of fine.
The value of the phone, a property of one Suleiman Ibrahim, he said, was, however, yet to be ascertained, while the stolen phone has been recovered.
Osiji said that in the course of Police investigation, the convict confessed to have committed the offence, which contravened the provisions of Section 317 of the Penal Code.
