    In Plateau State, a 28-year-old trader, Bashiru Aliya, has been sentenced to nine months in prison by an Area Court in Jos for stealing two cartons of seasoning valued at N98,500. Aliya pleaded guilty to the charge, and the judge, Shawomi Bokkos, handed down the sentence. However, the judge granted him the option to pay a N20,000 fine and ordered an additional N120,000 as compensation to the complainant.

    The prosecution stated that the convict collaborated with an accomplice, now at large, to steal the items from the complainant’s shop in the market. The offense was found to be in violation of the provisions of the Plateau Penal Code.
