The magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, did not give the convict an option of fine, and warned him to desist from committing crime and be a law abiding citizen.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Chidi Leo, told the court that one Malam Bello Haruna of Malali Kaduna reported the matter at the Gabasawa Police Station on February 8; that Khalid and two others, now at large, trespassed into his compound and stole two air conditioners worth N180,000. (NAN)
