A 24-year-old man, Usama Abdullahi, has expressed disappointment that his three girlfriends, for whom he stole packs of noodles, did not come to visit him in prison.
The man made his confession before the Adamawa State Jail Delivery Committee, a special mobile court constituted to review certain cases with a view to decongesting correctional centres
On his appearance before the committee, Usama Abdullahi, a resident of Shelleng, said he stole packs of instant noodles and distributed to his three girlfriends and ran off to another town, Shani, where he was arrested.
He recalled that after a court sent him to prison, none of the said girlfriends visited him.
Usama who was working at a car wash in Shelleng when the matter came up, was initially sentenced to two years imprisonment by a court in the town.
He was serving that term at the Shelleng Satellite Custodial Facility when the state Jail Delivery Committee, in part of its prison rounds, reviewed his case.
The committee, headed by the state Chief Judge, Justice Hafsat Abdulrahman, reduced his punishment from two years in confinement to community service at the facility.
