The prosecution counsel, Inspector, Ibrahim Gokwat, had earlier told the court that the case was reported on October 16 at the Anglo-Jos Police Station by one Livinus James, the complainant.
The prosecutor said Longji stole the solar panel from a company and was caught while trying to sell it.
Gokwat added that the offence contravened the provisions of the Plateau Penal Code.
