A Maiduguri High Court on Monday sentenced a
man to 10 years imprisonment for conspiracy
and robbery.

Maiduguri was sentenced under sections 97 and
298 of the Penal Code Law of Borno State.
The court also sentenced the accomplice of the
convict, Hamisu Haruna, to six months
imprisonment.
The court was told that the convict, armed with
weapons which included knives, cutlasses and
sticks, broke into the house of one Hauwa
Ngomari and carted away her property.
According to the police, the convicts had stolen
necklaces, four handsets, gold earring and a DVD
player, valued at N173,000

to the complainant’s husband, was also accused
of attempting to rape one of the victims during
the robbery.

Justice Alkali Wakil, said the action of Bukar was
shameful and serious.
“It is the highest ingratitude by Kyari and his
partner in crime,” Wakil added.
