A 24-year-old butcher, Mathew Danjuma on Monday, sentenced to one-year imprisonment by an Area Court sitting in Jos for stabbing his colleague
Mr Shawomi Bokkos, the area Court judge, who sentenced Danjuma after confessing to the crime, also gave him an option fine of N50,000, while also ordered him to pay N35,000 as compensation to the complainant.
Bokkos said the judgement would serve as a deterrent to those who would want to indulge in such acts.
Earlier, Ibrahim Gokwat, the Prosecution Counsel, told the court that the case was reported on May 21 at the Jos C’ Division by Umar Muhammed, the complainant, saying the convict got angry with Muhammed during an altercation and stabbed him with a knife.
Gokwat stated that the offence committed by Danjuma contravened the provisions of Section 241 of the Penal Code Law of Plateau State
