A 28-year-old man, Sani Mohammed, was sentenced to 30 months in prison by a Grade 1 Area Court in Dei-Dei, Abuja, on Friday.
This verdict was for his act of threatening the salesgirl with a machete.
Having pleaded guilty to the charges, the convict received a sentence without the option of a fine from Judge Malam Saminu Suleiman, who highlighted its deterrent effect on others
The defendant, without a fixed address, faced charges of criminal trespass, criminal conspiracy, intimidation, and an attempt to commit an offense
During the early stages of the court proceedings, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr. J.S Atinko, presented information stating that the convict and two accomplices, who are currently at large, trespassed into Ikenna Oko’s shop at A49 Hamza Abdullahi Road, Paze II, with the intention of theft.
He reported that the individuals conspired to enter the shop, where they used a machete to threaten the complainant’s salesgirl while attempting to steal her cell phone valued at N 150,000. The convict was apprehended after the salesgirl raised an alarm.
He said that the crimes went against the regulations specified in sections 348, 396, and 95 of the Penal Code.
