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.

Adamu, however, warned Sani to desist from committing crimes.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, John Okpa, told the court that the complainant, Patrick Emianfor reported a case of theft involving Yusuf Abdullahi at the Dutse Alhaji Police Station on July 28.

Okpa said during police investigations, Abdullahi, who stole the complainant’s cell phone valued at N50, 000, confessed he sold it to Sani at N27, 500.

The prosecution counsel said Sani admitted to receiving the cell phone and sold it to his customer at N32 000, adding that the offence contravened Section 319 of the Penal Code. (NAN)
