Court orders man flogged for intimidation

A Karmo Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, has ordered that one Safiyanu Abdullahi was given six strokes of the cane for criminal intimidation.
Abdullahi who resides at Jabi Garage, Abuja, had earlier pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of criminal intimidation.
The judge, Abubakar Sadiq, gave the order after the convict pleaded guilty and begged the court to tamper justice with mercy.
He warned that the court might not be lenient with him the next time he appeared before it.
The prosecutor, Mrs Florence Avhioboh, had told the court that the matter was reported by one Hafsat Dauda, of Jabi Daki-biu, at the Utako Police Station, Abuja, on February 11, 2018.
The prosecutor said the convict on that same date, threatened the complainant with a knife, in Utako area of Abuja.
Avhioboh said during the police investigation, the knife was recovered and Abdullahi also confessed to the crime.
