Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Farouq Lawan today June 30, 2021 convicted and sentenced the duo of Jude Ameh and Ademola Aderibigbe on a one count amended charge of theft.

In view of their new plea, counsel for the prosecution, Sani asked the court to convict them accordingly.


Subsequently, Justice Lawan convicted the defendants and sentenced them to two years imprisonment with option of N100, 000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) fine.
