Two friends, Abdul-Alim Adam, 26, and Salim Rabiu, 23 were on Thursday, sentenced to three months imprisonment each by an Area Court in Jos for stealing 11 chickens worth N 44,000.
The judge, Mr Shawomi Bokkos, also gave the convicts an option of N50,000 fine after they pleaded guilty to the offence and begged the court for leniency.
Police prosecutor, Insp Monday Dabit, had earlier told the court that the case was reported at the “C” Division police station on August 20, by Mr Hassan Abdullahi.
He said the accused persons trespassed into Abdullahi’s compound and stole 11 chickens from their cage valued at N 44,000.
The prosecutor, further told the court that during police investigation, the accused persons confessed to have committed the offence.
The offence, he said, contravened the provisions of Plateau State Penal Code law of Northern Nigeria.
