Mustapha Aminu, a 36-year old motorist, was given 15 canings by a Kaduna Chief Magistrates' Court on Thursday for attacking an on-duty police officer.
The defendant, who lives in Ungwan Sanusi, Kaduna, was convicted of striking Sergeant Adamu Maigari, a police officer, in the head with a wooden log. Aminu entered a guilty plea to the accusation.
The sentence was designed to help the convicted person fully comprehend the seriousness of his offense, according to Mr. Ibrahim Emmanuel, the magistrate who issued the ruling.
Additionally, this will act as a warning to those who might think about doing similar actions. I hereby direct a court official to use the cane 15 times He was in charge.
Aminu was cautioned by Emmanuel to stop doing such things and concentrate on his work in order to become a responsible member of society.
Inspector Chidi Leo, the prosecution, had previously informed the court that the driver had attacked and hurt a police officer on January 29 at around 2:00 p.m. while the officer was on duty.
Leo clarified that the driver had been acting carelessly and had hit the officer with a piece of wood after the officer pulled him over.
He went on to say that the offense was against Section 237 of the 2017 Kaduna State Penal Code.
