An Upper Area Court sitting in Masaka, Nasarawa State, on Tuesday sentenced a 21-year-old student, Sunday Anthony, to nine months imprisonment for stealing a bottle of palm oil.
The judge, Yakubu Ishaku, sentenced the convict, who resides at Jankawa Masaka, Nasarawa State, after he pleaded guilty to the two-count charge of criminal trespass and theft.
The convict, who begged for forgiveness, was however given N10,000 option of fine.
