A Sharia Court ll at Magajin Gari, Kaduna, on Monday sentenced an 18-year old scavenger, Auwal Jubril, to five months imprisonment for assault and criminal trespass.

Earlier, the Prosecutor, Sgt. Aliyu Ibrahim, told the court that the matter was reported at the Magajin Gari Divisional Police Station, Kaduna, by one Ibrahim Haruna of No. 2, Oriapata, Kaduna, on April 21.
