A Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Tuesday, sentenced a 29-year-old bar attendant, Samson Timothy, to eight months imprisonment for stealing his employer’s N372,000.
The convict, a resident of Goni-gora in Kaduna, had pleaded guilty to the charge.
The Magistrate, Mr Ibrahim Emmanuel, sentenced Timothy to eight months imprisonment without option of fine to serve as deterrent to would-be offenders.
