Shafa also ordered the convict to return to his parents in Okene, Kogi.
He warned the convict to desist from committing crimes and to be of good behaviour.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Abudullahi Tanko, told the court that the complainants, Suleiman Ahmadu and Tijani Adamu of Angwan Fulani, Kuje Road, Gwagwalada, reported the matter at Gwagwalada police station on Sept. 17.
Tanko said that Yakubu stole the phones of the complainants while they were charging it.
He said the offence contravened the provisions of Section 287 of the Penal Code.
The Defence Counsel, Yusuf Jibril, prayed for the court for leniency.
“If he is sentenced to a prison term, he will most likely come out hardened and pose threat to society.
“He is a very young man at the peak of his formation age, I urge the court to assume a human and parental face, and to temper justice with mercy,” he prayed the court. (NAN)
