Abubakar Hussaini, a 25-year-old store keeper, who was on Tuesday sentenced to 12 months imprisonment by a Kubwa Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, said he burnt his boss’s credentials for his failure to increase his salary.
Hussaini said the complainant, Mr Jack Jiang, a Chinese, promised to increase his salary, but failed to do so. He pleaded guilty to charges of criminal trespass, mischief by fire and theft, and begged the court for leniency.
The judge, Abdulwahab Mohammed sentenced Hussaini to 12 months imprisonment, but gave him N20,000 option of fine. He also warned him to be of good behaviour and to desist from committing crime.
