A Kubwa Grade one Area Court on Wednesday sentenced a 20-year-old scavenger, Abdulmalik Usman, to two years in prison for receiving two stolen block producing machine coils.

The judge also sentenced a labourer, Adamu Dabo, who sold the stolen property to Usman, to 16 months in prison for theft.

Usman and Dabo whom were convicted and sentenced after pleading guilty to the charge against them, begged the court to temper justice with mercy.

The Judge, Muhammad Adamu, however, gave Usman and Dabo an option of N20, 000 fine each and warned them to desist from committing crime.
