They pleaded guilty to the one-count separate charges when they were read to them. Based on their pleas, prosecution counsel, M.E Eimonye and M.U Gadaka urged the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.


Thereafter, Justice Aikawa convicted and sentenced Abdul and Gideon to six months imprisonment while Musa was also convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment by Justice Buhari.
