A Shari’a Court in Kofar Kudu, Kano Municipal, has sentenced one Sadiq Turaki, a resident of Kofar Naisa, to nine months in prison for conspiracy, intimidation, and theft.
Turaki pleaded guilty to all charges after the prosecution, led by Barr. Aliya Aminu Yargaya, told the court that he conspired with eight others (still at large) to vandalize gutter slabs and steal iron rods from Sagagi Quarters.
He was later arrested with some of the stolen items in his possession.
Presiding Judge, Shamsuddeen Ado Abdullahi Unguwar Gini, sentenced him to three months imprisonment and 20 strokes of the cane on each of the three counts, totaling nine months and 60 strokes of the cane.
