Man Gets Jail Term For Causing Road Obstruction In Abuja

Abuja Senior Magistrates' Court yesterday, sentenced a bus driver, Alfa Malik, to three months imprisonment for causing obstruction along Lugbe road, Abuja.

Magistrate Aminu Eri, who handed down the judgment, said each of the three-count charge levelled against the convict  attracted one month imprisonment.

Eri, however, gave an option of fine of N100 on each of the charges following plea for leniency by the convict.

The prosecutor said the convict parked his bus on the road, which eventually caused obstruction to other road users and  when the convict was taken to the police station to clarify himself, it was discovered that he was not having  necessary documents and gadgets for the vehicle.
