A Karu Upper Area Court in Abuja on Friday sentenced a man, Sabiu Akilu, to four months in prison for constituting a nuisance.
The judge, Ishaq Hassan, however, gave the
convict an option of N10,000 fine and warned him to desist from the crime.
The convict, who has no fixed address, had
pleaded guilty to a count charge of constituting nuisance after injunction to
discontinue.
The prosecutor, Olarewaju Osho, told the
court that Mr Akilu was arrested by a team of police officers from Asokoro
Police Station on 15 March.
According to him, the team led by Courage
Erhabor, while on patrol, arrested the convict and three others at Kasuan Dere,
Asokoro Village, while constituting a nuisance.
He said that the convict had been warned
several times to stop constituting a nuisance.
He said that during the police investigation,
the convict could not give a satisfactory account of himself.
The alleged offence contravenes Section 199
of the Penal Code.
