A Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari in Kaduna State, on Tuesday, sentenced a teenage student, Anas Sidi-Baba, to one-year imprisonment over sexual encroachment on, and criminal intimidation of, his stepmother.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that after the defendant had pleaded guilty of the offence, he told the court that he was enchanted by his stepbrothers.
Sidi Baba said: “My step-brothers enchanted me and made me become a drug addict. Sometimes, I go naked and sometimes, I do wake up late at night to pray.”
The judge, Murtala Nasir, however, granted the convict a bail option of N20,000, and that he must also pay N20,000 as compensation to the complainant.
