A magistrates’ court in Jos on Tuesday sentenced a 40-year-old painter, Dominic Maitala, to two years’ imprisonment for stealing a car.
The magistrate, Irene Pati, sentenced the convict, who pleaded guilty to the charge.
Ms Pati, however, gave the convict the option of a N100,000 fine and ordered him to pay N7 million in compensation and, in default, to serve an additional year in prison.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the complainant, Peter Walar, reported the case on March 17 at the Area Command Metro Police Station.
Mr Gokwat said the convict was told to watch the car at the garage, but he took the car away and claimed he was drunk and did not know who stole the car from his house, where he had parked it overnight.
