A Jos Chief Magistrates’ Court on Friday sentenced a 21-year-old
man, Mohammed Ahmed, who impersonated an army man.
Chief Magistrate Jovita Binjin sentenced Ahmed to six months
imprisonment following his guilty plea.
Binjin, however, gave the convict a fine of N5,000, and hoped
that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to others.
Ahmed had pleaded for leniency, saying that he was deceived by
the devil.
According to the prosecutor, Sgt. Doghva Kasuwa, Ahmed
impersonated an army man on Oct. 27 at the Nassara Police
Station.
“The accused person was impersonating a military man; when
interrogated, he could not explain when and how he became a
military man,’’ Kasuwa said.
He said that the offence contravened Section 132 of the Penal
Code.
