AN Upper Area Court, sitting in Kaswan Nama, Jos, on Friday sentenced a 26-year-old trader, Moses Fwol, to two years imprisonment for robbing a man of his wallet and cell phone.
The judge, Lawal Suleiman, however, gave the convict N 100, 000 option of fine.
Suleiman also ordered him to pay N25, 000 compensation to the complainant.
The judge said the judgment would serve as a deterrent to those who would want to indulge in such activities.
