A Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday sentenced a 25-year-old trader, Nasiru Ahmed, to seven strokes of the cane for stealing five bags of salt.
Ahmed, who resides in Tudun Wada Area of Kaduna State, is charged with shop breaking and theft.
Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel sentenced Ahmed after he pleaded guilty and begged for leniency.
He urged the convict to be of good behaviour and desist from committing crimes.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr Chidi Leo told the court that Malam Abdulmalik Lateef, reported the matter at the Kawo Police Station on Feb. 7.

The offence, Leo said, contravened the provisions of sections 333 and 271 of the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017.
