A 26-year-old actress Nancy Ndukwe of
Jikwoyi, Abuja, was sentenced by Abuja
Senior Magistrates’ Court on September 6,
2013, Friday. She was convicted for two
months of imprisonment for stealing an IPad,
IPhone and jewellery.

Cpl. Paul Anigbo, on the side of the prosecution,
told the court that the matter was reported at the
Lugbe Police Station by one Faith Njoku of Kapuwa
Village, Lugbe, Abuja on September 2.
The prosecutor told the court that Nancy Ndukwe
visited her friend Njoku on the above-mentioned
date and stole her IPad, IPhone and jewellery, all
valued at N190,000.
Cpl. Anigbo gave the value of each of the items as
reported by the complainant: IPad – N100,000;
IPhone – N50,000 and jewellery – N40,000.
The prosecutor informed that the police discovered
all the stolen items in the convict’s possession.
Cpl. Anigbo stated that the offence contravened
the provisions of Section 287 of the Penal Code.
The convict pleaded guilty to the charge but
begged the court for mercy.
“I stole the items due to frustration. I have a one-
year-old son to cater for. I am sorry and I promise
not to do such again,” Nancy Ndukwe said.
Mr. Celestine Odo, the Magistrate, sentenced the
convict for two months imprisonment or an option
of N6,000 fine.
