A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, has sentenced a 22-year-old man, Arron Garba, to 18 months imprisonment for stealing aluminium windows from a church.
The Magistrate, Shawomi Bokkos, summarily tried and sentenced Garba after he pleaded guilty to theft on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.
The prosecution counsel, Inspector Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported at the Laranto Police Station by the complainant, Garba Nanvan, on June 5.
