Bestwood Chukwuemeka, was on Monday sentenced to three months
imprisonment by a Karu Senior Magistrates’ Court, Abuja, for having sexual intercourse
with another man through the anus.
The convict, who resides at Gidan Mangoro, had pleaded guilty to
the charge.
“I am guilty of the charge against me. I was under the influence
of alcohol and I want the court to temper justice with mercy’’, he said.
The police prosecutor, Mohammed Umar, had told the court that the
convict committed the offence in August when the complainant was sleeping in
his bed.
The prosecutor said since he had pleaded guilty to the crime he
initially denied, the court should trial him summarily.
The Senior Magistrate, Mrs Nafisatu Buba, sentenced him to three
months imprisonment without an option of fine.
“’This would serve as warning to other youths who hide under the
influence of alcohol to commit crimes,’’ she said. Via Vanguard News
