The convict, Agorioge Yomi, 30, of Karu, a satellite community of the FCT, was on Tuesday sentenced by the court in Abuja, on two-count charges of giving false information and defamation of character. The magistrate, Habiba Bello, sentenced the accused after she pleaded guilty to the charges. The prosecutor, Simon Emmanuel, told the court that Mrs. Yomi had reported to the police on Dec. 20 that she boarded a bus with her 12-year-old daughter from Lugbe to Berger Junction.
Mr. Emmanuel said the convict had alleged that on the way the driver diverted to Gwarinpa Express roundabout and threw her out of the vehicle and kidnapped her daughter, Anuoluwapo Oladapo, but the police later found Yomi’s daughter ina hotel, where she had hidden her. The magistrate sentenced Mrs Yomi to five months in prison but gave her an option of paying N1,000 fine for the first offence and N1,500 for the second offence....
