The Prosecutor, Mr Phillip Akogwu, had

Doherty.
Akogwu said that the accused was
reported to the Asokoro police station
on March 26 by Doherty, a resident of
Maitama in Abuja.
He said the accused was apprehended
after he broke into her shop and stole
six bottles of different brands of wine
and 10 packets of assorted biscuits, all
valued at N27,550.
He added that the offences were
contrary to sections 248, 355 and 288

The accused pleaded guilty to the
charges and begged the court for
leniency.
“Please have mercy on me sir, it is the
work of the Devil,” he said. [NAN]
