He had pleaded guilty to the two-count charge, and prayed for leniency.

Sani claimed that he did not plan to convert the money for personal use, as charged.

The prosecutor, Florence Auhioboh, had told the court that Sani collected the sum from Isyaku to buy a motorcycle but refused to pay back.

She said that all efforts to recover the money or motorcycle from Sani were fruitless.

The prosecutor said that the offences contravened Sections 312 of the Penal Code.
