Butcher Jailed 1 Year For Stabbing Colleague
An Area Court sitting in Jos on Monday sentenced a 24-year-old butcher, Mathew Danjuma, to one year imprisonment for stabbing his colleague.
He also ordered him to pay N35, 000 as compensation to the complainant.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Ibrahim Gokwat told the court that the case was reported on May 21 at the C’ Division by Umar Muhammed, the complainant.
Gokwat said the convict got angru with Muhammed during an altercation and stabbed him with a knife.
He said the offence contravened the provisions of the Section 241 of the Penal Code Law of Plateau State
