Trader jailed two years for stealing two chickens
 Suleiman Yakubu, an 18-year-old merchant, was given a two-year improvement period by an Upper Area Court in Jos on Wednesday for stealing two broiler chicks from a woman's home.

Yakubu entered a guilty plea for trespass and theft, and Judge David Damulak punished him.

But Damulak offered the defendant the choice of a N25,000 fine or a 12-month sentence for trespass and another N10,000 or a 12-month sentence for theft.

According to the judge, individuals who would desire to commit such crimes would be discouraged by the verdict.

Chioma Ebedu, the complainant, reported the matter on December 7 at the Laranto Police station, according to the prosecution's attorney, Insp. Ibrahim Gokwat.

According to the prosecutor, the convicted felon broke into the woman's home with a companion currently at large and took two big broiler chicks.

The two chicks were taken from the felon throughout the police inquiry.

According to the prosecutor, the defendant attempted to flee jail before being apprehended again after being requested to appear for a photo with the chickens for an exhibit.

According to him, the offence violates Sections 58, 327, 271 and 134 of the Plateau Penal Code and is punishable under Sections 59 and 272 of the law.
