The presiding judge, Mr Okeagwu Azubike,
passed the sentence after the convict pleaded
guilty to the offences of criminal trespass and
mischief, and begged the court for leniency.
Azubike gave the convict an option to pay N2,
000 in fine and ordered him to pay N15, 400 in
compensation to the nominal complainant for
destroying her television set.
The police prosecutor, Cpl. Samuel Ocheche,
told the court earlier that Mrs Hauwa Hassan of
Anguwan Gade, Kuje, reported the matter at
Kuje Police Station on Oct. 20.
Ocheche said the convict, who resides at the
same address as the complainant, entered her
room and destroyed her television set valued at
N15, 400.
He said that during police interrogation, Ohis
admitted to committing the offences.
