A magistrates’ court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, on Thursday, sentenced a 40-year-old man, Cletus Gandu, to nine months in prison for stealing two tubers of yam after he admitted that he stole the tubers of yam because he was hungry and begged for leniency.

The Magistrate, Michael Bawa, however, gave the convict a fine option of N50,000.

Earlier, the defendant was charged by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) with criminal trespass and theft contrary to Sections 327 and 270 of the Kaduna State Penal Code.
