Tailor jailed for stabbing colleague with scissors
He, however, admitted to the crime and pleaded for mercy.
Judge Ibrahim Shekarau said he based his judgment on the evidence before the court and the guilty plea of the convict.
“Musa is hereby sentenced to six months imprisonment or an option of N6, 000 fine for the offense of criminal trespass.
“For the offense of causing grievous hurt, the accused is sentenced to eight months imprisonment without an option of fine,” the judge ruled.
The Prosecutor, Cpl. Hamen Donald had told the court that one Hussaina Ibrahim of Aso Pada, Mararaba, reported the matter at `A’ Police Division, Mararaba on Jan. 2, at about 1.30 p.m.
“The complainant alleged that the convict trespassed with the intention of stealing her sewing machine”.
“When the complainant raised alarm, the convict removed scissors from his waist and stabbed her in the breast, stomach, knee, and back”.
“He left her in the pool of her blood and while trying to run away, he was caught by the mob,” Donald said”.
