An area court in Jos, Plateau State, on Thursday, sentenced one Sani Ukasha, aged 31, to three months in prison for failing to produce an accused person he stood surety for.
The judge, Mr Shawomi Bokkos, sentenced Ukasha who pleaded guilty to the charge and pleaded for leniency.
Bokkos, however, gave the surety an option of N10,000 fine.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Insp Ibrahim Gokwat, told the court that the surety failed to produce an accused person in a case of seasoning cubes theft in contravention of the Plateau State Penal Code.
