An 18-year-old man, Gado Adamu, has been convicted and sentenced to prison by a customary court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, following his arrest for the theft of a pregnant goat and the illegal possession of a Dane gun. Adamu was apprehended by residents of Zankan village on February 2 in possession of the stolen animal, valued at N160,000, and a firearm for which he lacked a valid license.
During the proceedings, the defendant pleaded guilty to charges under Sections 345 and 270 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law, appealing to the court for leniency. Presiding Judge Patience Baryat sentenced Adamu to three months’ imprisonment for the unlawful possession of a weapon and an additional two months for the theft, though she provided the option of fines totaling N30,000.
