“The accused was sleeping and abandoned his duty post, paving the way for burglars to gain access into the complainant’s spare part shop,’’ she said.

The burglars, according to the prosecution, made away to the complainant’s goods worth N363, 000, and no amount of effort by the Utako Police could lead to the discovery of the goods stolen on December 8.

He was arraigned and convicted on a one-count charge of negligent conduct.
