    A Central Area Court sitting in Kasuwan Nama in Jos on Wednesday sentenced a 34-year-old, Chinese businessman, Arvin Wu to three months imprisonment for buying stolen railway sleepers, property of the Nigerian Railway Corporation.

    A panel of two magistrates, Ghazali Adam and Hyacinth Dolnaan sentenced Arvin after he pleaded guilty to the offence.

    Magistrates Adam and Dolmaan, however, gave him an option to pay a fine of N50,000.

    Earlier, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on Dec. 27, 2020, arrested the convict.
