Man, 38, bags 6 months jail term for stealing motorcycle

A Zuba Grade 1 Area Court on Wednesday sentenced Idris Ibrahim, 38, of Deidei- FCT to six months imprisonment for stealing a Bajaj motorcycle.

The Presiding Judge, Malam Gambo Garba, passed the sentence after Ibrahim pleaded guilty to the two-count charge of joint act and theft.
However, Garba gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N10,000 and another N66,500 as compensation to the nominal complainant.
“The motorcycle has already been in used for a while as such cannot be of the same value as when it was bought,’’ Garba said.
