Read Time:50 Second
Ibrahim Aliyu and Ibrahim Umar were sentenced to six months in jail by an Area Court in Jos on Tuesday for stealing 180 liters of diesel and N250,000 in cash.
After Aliyu and Umar entered guilty pleas and requested leniency from the court, Judge Shawomi Bokkos punished them.
Bokkos also offered each of the prisoners a N30,000 fine.
The convicts were equally ordered to pay a compensation of N50,000 each or serve six months in default.
The police prosecutor, Insp. Labaran Ahmed, had informed the court that the case was reported at the Laranto Police Station, Jos, on Jan. 10, by Mr Aminu Mohammed.
Ahmed said the truck drivers conspired and stole 180 litres of diesel from Mohammed, the complainant’s trucks, worth N190,800 and the cash sum of N250,000.
The prosecutor further told the court that during a police investigation, the accused persons confessed to committing the offence.
The offence, he said, contravened the Plateau State Penal Code law of Northern Nigeria.
