Man to sweep court premises for three weeks for stealing lady’s purse

 

In Kaduna, a Chief Magistrates’ Court issued a verdict on Thursday, mandating Garba Aliyu, a 30-year-old man, to conduct three weeks of sweeping duty within the court premises for the theft of a woman’s purse.

Aliyu was found guilty and sentenced after admitting to the theft charge.

Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel stated that the defendant’s plea spared the court from prolonged proceedings, noting that the penalty would have been harsher had he not confessed.

Emmanuel emphasized that the court considered Aliyu’s status as a first-time offender and his display of remorse in determining the sentence.

He also advised him to be of good behaviour, stressing that the court frowned at acts of violence.

He said, “Desist from such acts in future and become a better citizen and human being.’’

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Inspector Chidi Leo, told the court that on May 7, the convict criminally trespassed into the shop of one Adanna Ebuka located at Kano Road along Ahmadu Bello Way Kaduna.

Leo said that the convict went into the shop and stole a purse belonging to the complainant while pretending to buy a loaf of bread.

He added that during the police investigation, the said purse was recovered from the convict.

The prosecutor said the offence contravened the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017.
