Businessman to receive 6 lashes for stealing clothes

The convict criminally trespassed into the compound and stole five pieces of clothes valued at N3,000.

Two MMM agents in court for breach of trust.

The judge, Abubakar Sadiq, who gave the order after the convict pleaded guilty on a two-count charge, ordered that the convict should be flogged 6 strokes of cane.

Sadiq said that the punishment would have been severe if he had not pleaded guilty to save the court the pains of a protracted prosecution.

The prosecuting counsel, Mr Dalhatu Zannah, had told the court that one Blessing Okechukwu of Jabi Daki Biyu, Abuja, reported the matter to Life Camp Police Station on Oct.15.
