Man receives 6 strokes of cane for fondling lady’s buttocks

Inacho, a welder, pleaded guilty to the one-count charge of mischief.

Umar Kagarko, the judge, passed the sentence with no option of fine.

The convict, who showed remorse, said it was not intentional as he only wanted the lady to like him.

While admonishing the convict to desist from indecency, Kagarko asked him to find a decent approach towards women.

“You don’t go about touching a woman’s buttock simply because you want her to like you; find a decent approach,” the judge said.

Augustine Urom, the police prosecutor,  told the court that one Alice Adejo reported the matter at Apo police station on August 10.

He said the convict had formed a habit of leaving his work to follow the complainant every time she passed by his workshop.

Urom said the complainant had warned the convict many times but he kept on.

“She even reported him to his master,” he said.

Urom said she could no longer endure the act when he crossed the line by touching her buttocks.

The prosecutor said the act contravened section 327 of the penal code. (NAN)
