A Magistrates’ Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State on Tuesday ordered that a 28-year-old man, Ayuba Bulus, who pleaded guilty to stealing a TV set, be remanded in a correctional centre.
The police charged Bulus with criminal trespass and theft, contrary to the provisions of sections 333 and 270 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law.
Magistrate Mary Adams, who gave the order, fixed October 18 for sentencing.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Inspector Isah Hassan, told the court that Jesse Joseph, who resides in Kafanchan, reported the matter at the station on October 8.
Hassan said the defendant stole the complainant’s LG television set worth N36,000.
He prayed the court to summarily sentence the defendant following his guilty plea in line with Section 125 (8) of Administration of Criminal Justice Law.
