Two bus conductors jailed three months each for public fighting
An Area Court in Jos, Plateau State on Tuesday sentenced bus conductors; Isah Abubakar and Abdulrazak Salihu, to three months imprisonment each for fighting in public and constituting a nuisance.
The judge, Shawomi Bokkos, sentenced the convicts after they pleaded guilty to the offence.
The judge however gave the convicts an option of N 10,000 fine each or three months imprisonment for disturbing the peace of the public.
