A Jos Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday sentenced a 26- year-old miner, Anas Abubakar, to two years imprisonment for defrauding a woman of N800, 000.

The magistrate, Mr Shawomi Bokkos, summarily tried and sentenced Abubakar after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

Bokos, in his judgment, ordered the convict to pay an option of a fine of N50,000 or one year in prison, and also ordered him to pay compensation of N800.000 or another risk of one year in default.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Inspector Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the case was reported on July 27, at the Angwan Rogo Police Station by Fadimatu Hussain, the complainant.

The prosecutor said that the convict was given the money to help buy chemicals and he criminally spent the money.

He said that the offence is punishable under the Plateau State Penal Code Law.
