Section 316 - Stolen property defined.

Property, the possession whereof has been transferred by theft or by extortion or by robbery, and property, which has been criminally misappropriated or in respect of which criminal breach of trust has been committed, is stolen property, whether the transfer has been made or the misappropriation or breach of trust has been committed within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja or elsewhere, but if the property subsequently comes into the possession of a person legally entitled to the possession thereof, it then ceases to be stolen property.
