Student Pulse learnt that Nuhu stole the iPad on the 2th of June at a nightclub.
She confessed to the crime and pleaded for leniency, explaining that she stole the device after she was disappointed by a man who picked her at the club but failed to pay the N20,000 he promised her.
Nuhu also said she attempted to return the item to the owner.
“I got angry by his actions and stole the Ipad. I called his number after two days to return the Ipad but he did not pick the call.
“I am sorry I will not steal again,” she said.
