A Jos Magistrates’ Court on Friday sentenced a 22-year-old trader, Mustapha Musa, to one year’s imprisonment for threatening to kill his colleague.
The convict pleaded guilty to criminal intimidation and threat to life.
The magistrate, Irene Pati, sentenced Musa to one year’s imprisonment, with the option of a N70,000 fine.
