A Karu Upper Area Court in Abuja on Friday sentenced a man, Sabiu Akilu, to four months in prison for constituting a nuisance.

The judge, Ishaq Hassan, however, gave the convict an option of N10,000 fine and warned him to desist from the crime.

The convict, who has no fixed address, had pleaded guilty to a count charge of constituting nuisance after injunction to discontinue.

The prosecutor, Olarewaju Osho, told the court that Mr Akilu was arrested by a team of police officers from Asokoro Police Station on 15 March.

According to him, the team led by Courage Erhabor, while on patrol, arrested the convict and three others at Kasuan Dere, Asokoro Village, while constituting a nuisance.

He said that the convict had been warned several times to stop constituting a nuisance.
