Arusha. It is a rare occurrence for a court, the very custodian of justice, to become a victim of theft.
However, after Mr Judika Nkya was sentenced to five years in prison for stealing property worth Sh2.42 million from Bomang’ombe Primary Court, the High Court has overturned the conviction and set him free.
Mr Nkya was initially prosecuted at Hai District Court on two counts. The first was housebreaking with intent to commit an offence, contrary to sections 296(a) and (b) of the Penal Code.
