END OF THE ROAD FOR TWO MEN JAILED FOR THEFT OF ELECTRIC WIRES

By
Police investigation indicated that the convicts conspired and dishonestly went into the complainant's bedroom under construction to steal the electric wires.

A Karmo Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Friday, August 25, sentenced one Gambo Ibrahim, and Kabiru Sani, to one year imprisonment each for stealing electric wires worth about N1.1million.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the convicts had pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of joint act and theft.

The Judge, Mr Abubakar Sadiq , held that the convicts' confessional statements necessitated their convictions.

He also said that the prosecutor had carried out a diligent prosecution of the case, adding that the allegations brought against the convicts were not disputed.
"This is a summary trial, meaning that the convicts did not waste the time of the court as they have before the court admitted to the offences.

"But being first offenders, the court is therefore moved to show mercy by allowing them option of N20, 000 fine each,'' he held.
He also ordered the convicts to pay N561,700, each as refunds for value of the stolen consignment.

The judge, therefore, advised the convicts to stay away from crimes as they might not be lucky next time.
The prosecuting counsel, Mrs Florence Auhioboh, had told the court that the complainant, Nura Salisu of Sahara Maishayi, Gwarinpa, Abuja, reported the incident at the Gwarinpa Police Station on August 18.

She said police investigation indicated that the convicts conspired and dishonestly went into the complainant's bedroom under construction to steal the electric wires valued at N1, 123, 400.
She said the offences contravened Sections 79 and 288 of the Penal Code.
She added that the convicts had burnt the wires and disposed them to unknown person at the rate of N14,000.
Auhioboh said the convicts had confessed to the crimes in their statements at the police station.
She had prayed the court to convict them to serve as deterrent to others that had contemplated such illegal acts.

NORTH KOREAN IMAGES SUGGEST MISSILE/S MAY BE CAPABLE OF HITTING ANYWHERE IN AMERICA - U.S EXPERTS SAY

North Korea said the new missile reached an altitude of about 4,475 km (2,780 miles) - more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station - and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight. Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

NORTH KOREA IS NOT SOVIET UNION AND DONALD TRUMP IS JFK

There are critical differences between the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. Cuban crisis was handled largely in private save for the naval "embargo", but the North Korean crisis has been handled mostly in public, writes Klass [AP] It has become popular to describe the current situation on the Korean Peninsula as a "slow motion Cuban Missile Crisis". The temptation to do so is understandable since there are significant similarities between the two. For instance, both occurred because the militarily weaker power made a strategic move to even the balance. In 1962, the Soviets tried to sneak missiles into range of the United States to offset their lack of reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). Today, North Korea is undertaking an accelerated ICBM and associated nuclear warhead programme to deter the overwhelming conventional and nuclear superiority of the US. Yet, there are critical differences that make the North Kor...
