Man jailed 15 months for stealing praying mat from Abuja mosque

A Dei-Dei Grade I Area Court, Abuja, sentenced one Nasir Idris to 15 months imprisonment on Thursday for stealing a fan and praying mat from a mosque.

The court, however, gave Idris an option to pay a N50,000 fine.

The prosecutor, Mr Chinedu Ogada, had earlier told the court that one Ali Zuma arrested Idris on March 17 and took him to the police at Zuba, also in the FCT.

Ogada said Idris trespassed on the mosque at Dei-Dei and stole the fan and mat, but was caught in the act.

He added that Idris admitted to the crime during investigation and confessed to have been in prison twice also for theft.

The prosecutor said the offence committed by Idris at Dei-Dei contravened the Penal Code of the FCT.

Idris pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court for leniency.

The presiding judge, Mr Saminu Suleiman, warned Idris to desist from committing crimes and to be of good behaviour.
