A Grade I Area Court in Kubwa, Abuja, sentenced a 29-year-old trader, Badaru Sani, to six months imprisonment for receiving stolen cell phone.
The Judge, Muhammad Adamu, sentenced Sani, who lives in Galadima, Abuja, after pleading guilty and begging the court for leniency.
He also gave Sani an option to pay a fine of N10 000.
