A 20-year-old-man, Adamu Abubakar, was on Monday
sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for burglary and stealing by an Evbouriaria
Magistrates' Court in Benin.
The convict had pleaded guilty to the three-count
charge bordering on conspiracy, burglary and stealing.
The Prosecutor, ASP Aigbedion Obakpolor, had told
the Court that the convict with others at large committed the crime on March
13, 2016 at No. 187, Sapele road in Benin.
Obakpolor said Abubakar stole goods estimated at
N898,000, belonging to one Mrs Uyi Benson.
He said the offence contravened Sections 516 and 413
(2) of the Criminal Code Laws of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria 1976, as
applicable in Edo.
The Magistrate, Mr F.O. Idiake, sentenced Abubakar
to five years on each of the three counts, with no option of fine.
