A Magistrate's Court in Abuja on Monday sentenced one Peter Maikano, 22, to two weeks imprisonment for allegedly stealing a carton of fruit juice worth N2,100.
The Magistrate, Jacinta Okeke, who handed down the sentence to Maikano, however, gave him an option of N1,000 fine.
The accused of Karmagiji Viilage in Abuja metropolis, had pleaded guilty to the offence, which Police Prosecutor Simon Emmanuel said contravened the Penal Code.
The prosecutor told the court that Maikano stole the juice at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Idu Industrial Layout, on Nov. 4 while on duty at the premises.
Emmanuel said Maikano, who was attached to the carpentry section of the company, was caught by the security guard that fateful day as he attempted to cart away the said carton of fruit juice from the store.
