A Sharia Court (II) sitting at Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, on Thursday granted pardon to a scavenger, Rabiu Isah, who stole a Tecno phone worth N39,000.
The Judge, Mr. Murtala Nasir, pardoned Idaho, 32, who admitted guilt and pleaded for mercy.
Nasir admonished Isah to go back to Sokoto State where he said he came from, manage his life and stay out of crime.
He warned that severe lawful actions would be taken against Isah if caught in crime again.
The prosecutor, Insp. Aliyu Ibrahim had told the court that Mr. Rilwan Mohammad of Kurmin Kabala, Kaduna, reported the case of theft on March 25 at Sabon Gari Police Division.
