Abuja - An Abuja Grade Two Area Court on Friday sentenced one Gaddafi
Awal, 20, of Jabi, Abuja, to seven months imprisonment for stealing
two generators.
Awal was tried on a three-count charge of joint act, criminal trespass
and theft.
The court, presided by Malam Ahmed Ado, however, gave the convict an
option to pay N6,000 fine.
Police prosecutor Simon Ibrahim had told the court that on April 24,

Awal, who pleaded guilty to the offences, and begged for leniency.
