The magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, imposed the penalty after Mr Yusuf pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy and assault.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to charges against him.
The complainant had alleged that the convict entered her shop in Kawo and stole six pieces of wrappers, five skirts and 10 pairs of trousers.
“In the course of interrogation, the defendant confessed to have conspired with Aminu Hassan and Barau Ahmed, now at large, to kidnap the child.”
Two months after, Mr. Yunusa failed to pay remittances for a vehicle given to him on hire purchase by his friend.
