On Monday, the Jos Magistrates’ Court sentenced a 30-year-old driver, Aminu Sani, in a correctional centre for stealing a motorcycle.
Magistrate Shawomi Bokkos summarily tried and sentenced the convict after he pleaded guilty to the charge.
The magistrate gave him an option of a N50,000 fine.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on September 17 by a police officer from the anti-kidnapping unit in Jos.
Mr Gokwat said the convict was given the motorcycle to wash, and he absconded with it.
He said that the offence contravened the Plateau State Penal Code Law.
