An Area Court sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, has sentenced a 23-year-old student, David Longji, to three months imprisonment for stealing a solar panel.
The presiding judge, Shawomi Bokkos, sentenced the student after he pleaded guilty to theft on Friday, December 1.
Bokkos, however, gave him the option to pay N20,000 as a fine.

The prosecution counsel, Inspector, Ibrahim Gokwat, had earlier told the court that the case was reported on October 16 at the Anglo-Jos Police Station by one Livinus James, the complainant.
The prosecutor said Longji stole the solar panel from a company and was caught while trying to sell it.
Gokwat added that the offence contravened the provisions of the Plateau Penal Code.
