Court jails cattle rearer nine months for assaulting woman
A magistrates’ court in Jos on Thursday sentenced a 41-year cattle rearer, Isa Mohammed, to nine months in prison for assaulting a woman.
The magistrate, Shawomi Bokkos, summarily tried and sentenced the convict after he pleaded guilty to the charge.
Mr Bokkos, who sentenced him to nine months in prison, gave him an option of a N50,000 fine and asked him to pay a compensation of N30,000 to the complainant.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on August 27 at the “C” Division police station by Hassana Sambo, the complainant.
Mr Gokwat said the convict assaulted the woman and damaged her phone valued at N45,000.
