Gaida pleaded guilty when he was arraigned before the court by the prosecutor, Aliyu Abidin Murtala.
Murtala told the court that one Zubairu Musa Gaida complained that the defendant stole his N300,000 through an online transfer without his consent when he gave him his phone to open an Opay wallet account for him.
When the charge was read to the Opay agent, he pleaded guilty.
According to him, he used the money to stake a bet with BetNaija.
The Judge, Nura Yusuf Ahmad, sentenced him to three months for breach of trust and six months for stealing and ordered him to refund the stolen N300,000.
