A Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Kaduna, on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, sentenced a teenager, David Jonah, to prison for stealing a goat.
The police charged Jonah with two counts of trespass and stealing.
The prosecutor, Inspector Chidi Leo, told the court that one Samson John reported the matter at the police station on November 29.

The Magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, sentenced Jonah after he pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency.
Emmanuel however gave the teenager an option of N10,000 fine and warned him to desist from crime.
Emmanuel further advised the convict to focus on his studies or learn a trade, saying the court would not be lenient with him next time.
