Emmanuel Nelson also known as Disc Jockey appeared in Kado grade 1 Area court in Abuja on Tuesday where he is convicted of theft. The court has pronounced DJ guilty for stealing an Ipad
worth N65,000 and to be imprisoned for eight months.
The presiding officer, Alhaji Mohammed Ado gave Nelson an
option of N8,000 fine, and warned him to desist from committing such crimes. The
convict, who resides at Kado Kuchi Village, Abuja, was convicted on the
two-count charge of criminal trespass and stealing preferred against him.
Nelson, who had pleaded guilty to the charges, urged the court to temper
justice with mercy as his action was motivated by the desire to enhance his
work.
Prosecutor Judith Obatomi had told the court that Benedith Akuh, also of
Kado Kuchi Village, had reported the matter at the Mabushi Police Station,
Abuja, on June 5. Obatomi said the complainant reported that sometime in
October 2015, Nelson broke into his neighbour's room and stole his ipad
valued N65, 000. The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 348 and
288 of the Penal Code.
