« on: October 18, 2013, 11:00:01 PM »
A 19-year- old street trader, Emeka Chukwumuata, was on Friday sentenced to two months imprisonment by the Special offences Court, Alausa, Ikeja, for selling a cassava-stuffed Nokia phone.

“I am usually lenient to young people but you have to go in for inflicting pain on people,’’ the Magistrate, Mrs O. Kushanu said.

“It is unfortunate that it is the young people who are being brought to the court, the manufacturer should be raided and brought to court,’’ she said.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the accused was sentenced after he had pleaded guilty to the charge.

Chukwumuata, who resides in Ikeja area of Lagos, faced a charge of street trading.

The prosecutor, Mr Babatunde Sunmonu, said that the accused committed the offence on Oct. 18 at about 11:00 a.m. on Medical Road, Ikeja.

Sunmonu said that the offence committed contravened Section 10(1)(a) of the Street Trading and Illegal Market Prohibition Law 2003. (NAN)
