A Shari’a Court sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Tuesday, sentenced one Yusuf Usman to six months’ imprisonment for stealing some worshippers’ shoes at the Government College Mosque, Kaduna.
Delivering judgement after Usman pleaded guilty to criminal trespass and theft, Judge Malam Kabir Muhammad convicted the defendant but granted him an option of a N5,000 fine.

Muhammad also held that Usman should pay N150,000 compensation to the mosque committee.
The judge further declared that if the convict defaults in the payment of the compensation, his term of imprisonment should be extended by one year.

During the trial, the prosecutor, ASP Luka Sadau, stated that some mosque committee members apprehended Usman and brought him to the police station on June 13.

The charges against Usman read: “On the fateful date, after completing Jumaat prayer, you stole worshippers’ shoes worth N100,000.
