A Zuba Grade 1 Area Court on Tuesday sentenced Isaac Joseph, 21, of Kaduna State to six-month imprisonment for attempted rape.
Joseph was charged with criminal force, assault, theft and an attempt to commit rape.
The presiding officer of the court,
Mallam Alhassan Kusherki, passed the sentence on Joseph after he pleaded
guilty to the three counts.
Prosecutor, Corporal Momoh Ibrahim, told
the court that the complainant, Jamila Musa of Kano State, on November
30, 2013, reported the case at Zuba Police Station.
The prosecutor said Musa reported that
Joseph stopped her at Zuba while she was on her way to Abuja, beat her
up and made away with her N2,100 in cash and her Nokia phone valued N4,
000. He said that but for the timely intervention of some good
Samaritans Joseph would have succeeded in raping her.
The prosecutor said that the said money and phone were recovered from the convict during police investigation.
