AN Upper Area Court in Jos on Wednesday sentenced two students to 20 months imprisonment for conspiring and stealing a motorcycle.

The judge, David Damulak sentenced birth students after they pleaded guilty to the two-count charge.

Damulak, however, gave the convicts an option of N10,000 fine or eight months each for conspiracy and another N15,000 or 12 months each for stealing.

The judge said the judgment would serve as deterrent to those who would want to indulge in such criminal act.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Daniel Nanmuwah told the court that the case was reported on Nov. 6, at Anglo-Jos Police station by some officers of the Nigerian Police.

The prosecutor said that the convicts conspired and stole a motorcycle parked under a tree before they were arrested.

The offence, he said, is punishable under the Section 59 and 272 of Plateau Penal Code Law.(NAN)
