A Kano State Sharia court has sentenced a man, Musa Imawa, to one year in prison for stealing seven measures (mudus) of rice.
Earlier, when the police prosecutor, Inspector Nasir Dansakkwato, read the charge to him, he pleaded guilty.
After taking a witness’ testimony, the Khadi, Ibrahim Isa Usman, passed the sentence, but gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N20,000.
