The Police charged Hanna, whose address was not provided, with stealing.
The convict had pleaded not guilty to the charge preferred against her.
In her ruling, Magistrate A.O. Adeyemi sentenced the convict to six months imprisonment with an option of N20,000 fine and also directed to pay N328,000 to the complainant.

He said that the offence contravened Section 390(9) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.
