Man gets eight strokes of cane for stealing 10 chickens

Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday ordered that one Adamu Isah‎ be given eight strokes of the cane for stealing 10 live chickens.

The Magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, warned him to desist from committing crimes and be of good behaviour henceforth.
