A casual stroll through Zankan village has ended in a prison sentence for 18-year-old Gado Adamu, after he was caught red-handed with a stolen pregnant goat and an unlicensed firearm. A Customary Court sitting in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, convicted the teenager on Wednesday following his arraignment for theft and illegal possession of a weapon—offenses that carry heavy weight under the Kaduna State Penal Code. According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Adamu pleaded guilty when the charges were read to him, appealing to the court for leniency. Delivering judgment, Presiding Judge Patience Baryat sentenced Adamu to three months’ imprisonment for unlawful possession of a weapon but gave him the option of a N20,000 fine. On the theft charge, the court handed him an additional two months’ imprisonment or a N10,000 fine. Earlier, the prosecutor, Favour Solomon, told the court that the case was reported at the Kafanchan Divisional Police Station on February 2. According to the prosecution, Adamu was apprehended by residents in Zankan village while in possession of the stolen pregnant she-goat, valued at N160,000. He was also found with a Dane gun, which he allegedly carried without a valid licence. Post navigation Police Rescue Two CRIN Abductees, Three Kidnappers Land in Net!
