By Ugochi Ugochukwu
Abuja, Oct. 17, 2016 (NAN) A Karmo Grade 1 Area Court in Abuja on Monday sentenced a 29-year-old labourer, Daniel Mwolbong, to one month imprisonment for criminal trespass.
Mwolbong of no fixed address was convicted after he pleaded guilty for trespass and begged for leniency.
The Area Court judge, Abubakar Sadiq, gave the convict an option to pay N5,000 as fine, and warned him to desist from crime after his sentence.
Prosecutor Dalhatu Zannah had told the court that Panshak Gwantong of Setraco Gwarinpa estate, Abuja, reported the matter at the Gwarinpa Police Station on Oct. 6.
Zannah said that the convict criminally entered into the complainant’s room through the window and attempted to steal his cloths.
He said that the convict made a confessional statement, and that the offence contravened sections, 348 and 95 of the Penal Code. (NAN)
