A Karu Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, has discharged a 25-year-old man, Bernard Feyisayo, accused of stealing a mop.
The judge, Sani Mohammed, discharged Feyisayo, based on the value of the alleged stolen item which cost between N300 and N500.
Feyisayo, who resides at Karu site, Abuja, was arraigned on Thursday on a three-count charge of criminal trespass, theft and membership of an unlawful assembly, offences he denied committing.
The prosecutor, Vincent Osuji, told the court that one Taminu Makeri attached to Karu police station, reported the matter at the Karu Police Station, Abuja, on June 3, at about 10 a.m.
He said the complainant alleged that on same date, while on his usual routine patrol along Karu Site, he found the defendant in possession of the mop.
Osuji also informed the court that during police investigation, the defendant confessed to have committed the crime, adding, “Feyisayo also specialises in stealing.”
The prosecutor had said the offences contravened Sections 348, 287 and 102 of the Penal Code.
