The Judge, Saminu Suleiman gave Ibrahim an option to pay a fine of N10, 000 and to pay N60, 000 compensation to the complainant, Abiola Adekunle.

Suleiman however warned him to desist from committing crimes and be of good behaviour.

Earlier, the prosecuting counsel, Babajide Olanipekun told the court that Ibrahim forcefully opened the complainant’s car and removed the car battery on March 12.
