The Judge, Malam Aliyu Kagarko, sentenced the convict after she pleaded guilty to the offence and begged the court for leniency. Kagarko, however, gave the convict an option to pay N30,000 as fine. Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr Stanley Nwaforaku told the court that the case was reported at the Tradedmore Police Station on Oct. 12 by Hajara.
