A Central Area Court sitting in Kasuwan Nama in Jos on Wednesday, sentenced a 34-year-old, Chinese businessman, Arvin Wu to three months imprisonment for receiving stolen railway sleepers, property of the Nigerian Railway Corporation.
A panel of two magistrates, Ghazali Adam and Hyacinth Dolnaan sentenced Arvin after he pleaded guilty to the offence.
Magistrates Adam and Dolmaan, however, gave him an option to pay a fine of N50,000.
