Nnkanagu, a resident of Airport Road, Abuja, was convicted on a two-count charge of criminal trespass and theft.
The judge, Alhaji Umar Kagarko, also ordered Nnakanagu to be of good behaviour and desist from committing crime.
He said that the convict criminally trespassed into the said hotel pretending to be a customer and entered one of the hotel toilets to ease himself.

Adeniyi said while the convict was in the toilet, he dishonestly stole four pieces of toilet paper valued N200 only.
He further said that the said toilet tissue was found in the convict’s possession and the offences contravened Sections 348 and 287 of the Penal Code.
Nnakanagu, however, pleaded guilty and plead for leniency.
