Trader Bags 9-month Imprisonment For Stealing Seasonings


A 28-year-old trader, Bashiru Aliya, was on Monday jailed by an Area Court in Jos, Plateau State to nine months imprisonment for stealing two cartons of seasoning worth N98,500.

BEYOND AFRICA learnt that, the judge, Shawomi Bokkos, sentenced Aliyu after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

Bokkos, however, gave him the option to pay a N20,000 fine and ordered him to pay another N120,000 as compensation to the complainant.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Inspector Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on August 4, at the Railway Police Station by the complainant, one Moses Agbo.

The prosecutor said the convict conspired with his friend now at large, and stole the items from the complainant’s shop in the market.

Gokwat said the offence contravened the provisions of the Plateau Penal Code.
