The prosecutor, Insp Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported at the Nasarawa-Gwom Police Station on February 18 by one Nasiru Abdullahi, the complainant.

Mr Gokwat said the convict broke into the house through the window with two others now at large and stole a flat-screen TV, room heater, and 30kg of iron rod.

He said the value of the stolen items was unknown, adding that the convict also stole N147,000 cash.

He said the convict was caught with the iron rods and room heater, adding that his accomplices ran away with the TV.
