The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Nasarawa State said it had prosecuted six persons for theft of motorcycles before a Chief Magistrate Court in Lafia.
The Commandant of the corps, Mohammad Mahmoud-Fari, disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday in Lafia.
Mahmoud-Fari said the convicts were; Hashimu Mohammad, Aliyu Adamu, Abubakar Sadiq, Mohammed Yakubu, Bulus Maikasuwa and Likita Monday.
He said they were arrested at various locations in Lafia and environs and arraigned before a Chief Magistrate Court in Shabu, Lafia, for stealing motorcycles contrary to sections 287 and 319 of the state Penal Code.
Mahmoud-Fari explained that the suspects were convicted to three months jail term each with a N10,000 option of fine as spelt out in the state penal code.
