A 29-year-old man, Ricab Vondip, was on Thursday sentenced to two months imprisonment by a Karmo Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, for stealing musical keyboard valued at N400, 000 from a church.<\/p>\n
The convict who was arraigned on a count charge of theft pleaded guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n
He begged the court to have mercy on him and promised not to commit crime again.<\/p>\n
The judge, Mr Abubakar Sadiq, who convicted Vondip, however, gave the convict an option of N10, 000 fine, and warned him to desist from committing further crime.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor, Dalhatu Zannah, had told the court that Vondip committed the offence on Dec. 24, 2016 at the Salem Church, Utako, Abuja.<\/p>\n
He said that Pastor Joel Madaki of Salem Church Abuja, reported the matter at the Utako Police Station on March 8.<\/p>\n
Zannah said Vondip was invited by his friend James Silas to attend a church service, but he dishonestly stole the church Yamaha keyboard.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor said that the convict was arrested and he confessed to have sold the keyboard at N 24,000.<\/p>\n
Zannah said that the keyboard was yet to be recovered.<\/p>\n
He said the offence contravened Section 287 of the Penal Code.<\/p>\n
